If the mission statement is superceded by other implicit values, like creating shareholder value, it's not much of a mission statement. The whole point of a mission statement is to make your primary values explicit.

I mean, you might think that is what mission statements SHOULD be, but that doesn't mean that is the definition everyone agrees on. I think a more reasonable definition is "what our company stands for besides the things that every company stands for"
