Our products result from the composite thinking and action of the whole organization. Individually and collectively we are all, to some degree, economically dependent on one another. You can look at this from an organizational perspective versus an individual perspective. In the Organizational Perspective Unity Model, unity at the top of the triangle can be achieved by having lots of openness at the bottom, working our way up with understanding and then caring at the top. Here any measure of openness fosters enhanced understanding.
Understanding leads to a greater measure of caring.
Caring, in an organizational sense, is the primary characteristic of organizational unity. The implication is we have to be completely open with each other if we are to maximize the quality of our organization. In the Individual Perspective Unity Model, unity can be achieved by having lots of caring at the bottom, moving up to understanding and openness at the top of the triangle, giving you unity. Understanding generates the will to be open. Openness, by one, fosters openness in others.
