Unity isn’t just a cultural aspiration. For Kingdom-minded teams, it’s the foundation of impact and influence. If it was Jesus’ final prayer before the cross – that we may be one – shouldn’t it be our top priority at work?
At Kingdom-driven companies, unity isn’t passive agreement. It’s a daily, proactive pursuit that shapes how teams think, speak, and lead.
Here are three key principles to make unity a driving force in your leadership:
- Lead with Unity First – Always
Unity should be more than a value on paper for Kingdom-minded companies. It should set the tone for your strategy, your collective decision-making, your conflict resolution, and your leadership rhythms. Every meeting, correction, or win should reflect this mindset: We don’t succeed unless we succeed together. - Make It You and Me Against the Issue
Correction, conflict, or challenge? Don’t make teammates the enemy. Instead, frame issues as shared problems to solve together by inviting the ideas and opinions of others.This builds trust, defuses tension, and reinforces that unity doesn’t mean uniformity or agreement – it means alignment. - Remember the Promise: God Commands the Blessing
Psalm 133 declares that where there is unity, God commands a blessing. Not a suggestion – a command. Unity creates fertile ground for growth, favor, and breakthrough that impacts your people, your business, your community, and maybe most of all YOU.
Don’t wait for unity to happen. Fight for it – daily, intentionally, joyfully. And this week, ask yourself:
What’s one new step I can take to proactively build unity on my team?
