Models of unity exist in every organization in varying forms and to different degrees. They can be found in personal relationships, in work teams, and in departments. Models of unity lie at the root of many high performance teams and are regularly found where effective problem solving takes place. They demonstrate the different ways people in your organization are successfully working to bridge gaps of diversity in thought, approach, race, gender, culture and more.
Our approach seeks to identify, publish, and replicate models of unity within your organization, highlighting their qualities and effects. These models are powerful change agents because they show ordinary people at their best, provide inspiring models to emulate, and lay strong foundations for training and problem solving.
Models of unity lay a solid foundation for new approaches to developing unity in diversity among members of the organization and facilitating organizational development and transformation. These models often reflect values that are essential to the organization’s health, including:
- A galvanizing purpose that mobilizes the noble forces of spirit and character.
- A willingness to see the best in others, which fosters a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- A spirit of service that promotes patterns of servant leadership.
- The practice of consultation that taps the collective wisdom of the group and functions on the operating principle of fairness.
- The development of bonds of close association that give rise to genuine friendship and intimacy.
- A commitment to excellence that results from right living.
- A heroic spirit of championship.
