Lift: The Fundamental State of Leadership

Lift describes four mindsets that, together, enable us to have a consistently positive influence. Ryan and Robert Quinn combine research and experience to demonstrate how we can elevate ourselves and the situations and people around us to greater heights of integrity, openness, and achievement - the psychological equivalent of aerodynamic lift. Although there are exercises and tools throughout to help you understand and apply the authors' lift framework - as well as compelling stories of personal and professional applications of lift - this is not a book about tactics. Rather, the Quinns challenge you to ask: What can I do to be a positive influence?
