How transformational leadership can leverage positive change. In a world of explosive change and transformation, leaders at all levels-from heads of state down to individuals-offer the best opportunity to leverage change and transform our lives for the better. That goes for how we work, play, govern ourselves, and consider and plan for our collective futures. In Lift, author, entrepreneur, and speaker Faisal Hoque offers up a timely book on leadership. Mr. Hoque, along with co-authors Jeff Wuorio and Shelley Moench-Kelly, points out that traditional leadership (""transactional"") focuses on processes and short-term solutions. With the massive recent changes brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, COVID-19, climate change, and the spread of misinformation, the world needs a new type of leader. The author proposes that a ""transformational"" leader is needed-one who focuses on people and long-term innovations and solutions. This book show readers how to become a transformational leader in an ever-changing world through a convergence of empathy, execution, and experiential learning

The Journey to Organizational Transformation. Given the rate of change that we have experienced and will continue to see in the world, it’s a challenge trying to stay on top of everything. Organizations must consider revising and possibly scrapping decades-old habits, processes, and their very ways of thinking and operating. In so doing, organizations can literally reinvent themselves. Transformation requires much more than simply obtaining the latest technology, plugging it in, and sitting back to watch reinvention take place. From top to bottom, organizations will be compelled to change entire mindsets, attitudes, and assumptions about how they operate, how they can grow, and even the very reason for their existence. This book introduces readers to ideas, concepts, and a comprehensive framework (LIFTS) that they can use to better position themselves and their organizations to reap the greatest number of benefits that business and digital transformation can afford. It’s a journey rich with promise that explains complex concepts in an understandable common language. REINVENT is the result of the author’s personal and professional journey — one that is made possible by three decades of work with colleagues, customers, partners, academics, and industry experts from around the globe.

A holistic approach to leadership and innovation. In Everything Connects, serial entrepreneur and thought leader Faisal Hoque teams up with journalist Drake Baer to provide a framework that shows readers how to: • Holistically connect the ""when"" and ""what"" with who they are • Inspire and lead inside and outside of their organization • Generate ideas, grounded decisions, and long-term value Part philosophy, part business, and part history, this book is a kaleidoscopic view of the way humans by being able to think out of the box have been able to achieve greatness for themselves, their organizations, and the world at large. This updated version includes new content that is inextricably connected to leveraging and thriving in this environment of change. Through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic and the explosion of remote and alternative work arrangements, we can see just how much the landscape has shifted and how it's essential to reframe the ways we approach how we work, play, and live. The new content adds further substance to the seminal focus of the first version of Everything Connects and furthers the core message of the original edition-that everything, in fact, does have a relationship to everything else resulting in a powerful synergy.
