If you’re asked to think of a scarce resource, does your mind immediately turn to forests, water, energy, or food supplies? Certainly each of these is important for our standard of living, and indeed, for our survival. But, there is another important, vital resource that is also scarce and that is leadership.
Leadership has been researched extensively and leadership gurus abound – each has something important to say. All the elements of leadership are known, but they’re fragmented and scattered among a clutter of myths, anecdotes, and beliefs. These divergent theories are often contradictory: and one leadership approach won’t work in all situations, and there is little guidance on how to select the right theory for any specific situation.

The Unified Theory is based on observation of the world – both the real world of today and the studied world of yesterday.
