For example, a company may be inspired to work harder by seeing a promotional video that aims to create a sense of unity between company members. To inspire unity, leaders must harvest the strengths of different personalities and empower individuals. Here are some key areas to focus on building unity:</p><h2 style="text-align: justify" id="d2b72b83-12be-43f4-b923-e847c7b9c010" data-toc-id="d2b72b83-12be-43f4-b923-e847c7b9c010"><strong>Help leaders understand how they contribute to the overall organization.</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify">Ensure that all company members understand the company's vision, mission, and values; this will help in building motivational leadership. Also, it will allow them to see the bigger picture and understand how they contribute to the general organization. When a leader understands their role in both contributing to the organization and empowering their team, aligning priorities and work effort becomes easier and more efficient.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify" id="5b2adb5b-0b8b-483c-9676-1c14a2dfbbbc" data-toc-id="5b2adb5b-0b8b-483c-9676-1c14a2dfbbbc"><strong>Encourage social interaction between all levels of employees to promote dialogue.</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify">For leaders to be effective, they need to be in close communication with those who report to them and form a robust people strategy. With Hybrid working this can be even more difficult and therefore requires extra effort. &nbsp;Promote social interaction by arranging gatherings, luncheons, and team-building exercises. This will encourage dialogue and help to break down any barriers that may have been erected.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify" id="7798c55e-5a70-4388-9552-f8b51332bc40" data-toc-id="7798c55e-5a70-4388-9552-f8b51332bc40"><strong>Invest in mentoring.</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">To motivate all employees to give their best, it is important that there is a high level of trust and openness between teams and individuals. This can be achieved through </span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.inc.com/john-rampton/10-reasons-why-a-mentor-is-a-must.html"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><u>mentoring</u></span></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">: this involves senior employees mentoring junior employees or new employees in an organization. Mentoring allows for the exchange of advice and real-time feedback. This is important because it encourages professional&nbsp;development and builds a growth mindset culture.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: justify" id="bedc58fb-5482-438e-a97e-0d12b3e2d34f" data-toc-id="bedc58fb-5482-438e-a97e-0d12b3e2d34f"><strong>Increase the number of people who can provide strategic advice.</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify">When focusing on leadership development, organizations have to be careful not to overwhelm leaders with too much information. However, it is important to have a variety of people who can provide strategic advice. This will ensure that leaders have different perspectives to consider when making decisions. Increase the number of people who can provide strategic advice by appointing department heads and other senior-level employees to be on the company's strategy committee.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify" id="e8a99041-3290-48f1-9e54-9f7cee66f53f" data-toc-id="e8a99041-3290-48f1-9e54-9f7cee66f53f"><strong>Focus on the importance of communication in a company.</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify">More often than not, a lack of communication is a source of frustration for companies. To avoid this, reinforce the importance of communication by focusing on efficient dissemination of information. No need to have meetings for the sake of providing information. Find the sweet spot where employees feel they are aware of what's happening but without adding further pressure on their existing workload. Encourage employees to have regular check-ins with their leaders so that dialogue remains open in a trusted environment where boldness is promoted to ensure frustrations are not bottled up.</p><p style="text-align: justify">Organizations can ultimately inspire unity by fostering a culture of openness and being bold while ensuring transparent communication at all levels. Employees need to feel trusted and empowered to drive positive change. With the right mentorship programs and trusted advisors leaders can make the right decisions to consistently inspire unity amongst the leadership team and ultimately all employees.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
