Leading with Unity This Election Day

by Nancy Vepraskas  - November 5, 2024

It’s time to make the critical shift from leading the business by yourself to leading an organization of people. At P2Excellence, we help you navigate the uncharted territories of organizational growth with clarity and confidence. 

It’s Election Day! Today, I want to remind you that a leader’s role is to encourage, listen, and create unity amidst a range of perspectives. This election, like all others, brings out strong emotions. We don’t all vote the same way, nor do we see issues identically—and that’s part of America’s strength.

Diversity of thought is not only valuable but essential to who we are as a nation.

A good leader assumes that differing views don’t make someone “bad” or “wrong.” Voting differently reflects individual values and experiences, and that’s a diversity we can respect.

Encourage those around you to vote, knowing that participating in the process—however it may look for each of us—is what keeps our democracy alive.

Traditionally, the workplace isn’t a venue for divisive conversations; it’s a space to work collaboratively. So, today and in the days that follow, let’s focus on listening and understanding, not judging. Remember to say things like, “We’re all here to build a better future,” rather than deepening the divides.

By setting a tone of respect and resilience, we can lead our teams forward, reminding everyone that our commitment to shared goals continues, regardless of election outcomes.

America thrives when we all do our part, honoring our differences while working together.
