Lift

"Leadership is no longer an exclusive role held by few, as discussed in Lift, but instead is a position that requires compassionate flexibility, collaboration, and confidence. With constant societal, environmental, and professional changes in our world, transactional leadership just won’t cut it anymore.”

“An inspiring book that helps us to be aware of the huge world changes and our role as leaders in different contexts. Faisal Hoque highlights the importance of enhancing our human skills and empathy as leaders in a world increasingly automated due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The author includes in his discussion the complex times that came along with the pandemic and its further effects on our lifestyle. This book is friendly to read and has a didactic structure which makes it valuable not only for scholars but practitioners, managers, entrepreneurs, or anyone that wants to lead successfully in this complex environment that we live in.”

"The leadership dynamic experienced a seismic shift during COVID that requires a new approach to empower an organization. In LIFT, Faisal Hoque offers innovative steps on transformational leadership that demonstrates how empathy is a crucial aspect in inspiring higher levels of organizational effectiveness.”

"LIFT is itself an act of transformational leadership. Faisal Hoque guides us with wisdom, empathy, and optimism through the complex, confusing - and often frightening - convergent forces at work which are changing the way we interact with our communities, and our entire biosphere. Hoque leads us through the deep work necessary to recognize the import of those sweeping changes and urges us to take pragmatic action to become an agent for positive change -- the kind of person who can transform from good intention, to leading others, to meaningful action and positive impact. Our children, and their children, may one day ask about these times, ‘What were you thinking? What were you doing?’ If you are asking yourself, ‘What can I do?’ this book is for you. Faisal Hoque gives us clarity, purpose, direction -- and hope."

— G. Shawn Hunter, CEO of Mindscaling, and author of "Small Acts of Leadership"
