In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about how you can create unity as you bring people together in a situation. In whatever you do, chaos is always around the corner and to deal with that we should create a unified front or a unified body while moving forward. If you don't get it right, you will have lone wolves and they don't go in the same direction. So, the entire focus is directionless and ultimately you end up with dysfunction.

If we get it right, you will feel supported in the journey, you will have a group of people with targeted focus and ultimately you end up with a team that is committed to fight side by side for the commonality of the goal. Hence, what you need to know is acceptance is the baseline, it is also important to create alignment in values & intent and finally, there is agreement on the opinion and steps.

The Unity Formula

• Acceptance: At the base level, we need to build acceptance. The team needs to accept the vision, direction, decision and process.
• Alignment: Create alignment to take your team to a place where they trust you. There needs to be an atmosphere of articulation where they have the ability to communicate as you provide them with access and openness.
• Agreement: When the trust level is high, what ends up happening is that there will be agreement in opinions, strategies and tactics.

These are the steps to move from acceptance to agreement:

1. Understand and acknowledge the awareness of the levels of acceptance.
2. Come together and articulate the values, vision, strategy and process.
3. Allow a safe place for dissent where people can have a conversation that is meaningful and it gives them the ability to co-create.
4. Listen, reflect and consider everyone in the process.
5. In the end, we make a decision and ask everyone for agreement.

After you follow these steps, you have created unity where everyone agrees because they had a voice and were a part of the co-creation.
