The Unitive Leadership Solution

Unitive Leadership, based on Unitive Justice Theory, is a new paradigm that fosters connection, cooperation, communication and a recognition of our shared humanity.

When leaders anywhere practice punitive styles of leadership, there tends to be greater conflict, competition, distrust, and dishonesty in the group or organization being led. Many leaders who try to practice Unitive Leadership get frustrated because they are leading in systems with punitive structures in place. And we know changing culture can take years. However, there are small steps we can take to be more unitive in our leadership that help us create groups, organizations and businesses that are far more likely to be effective, successful, and productive with engaged and committed members.
