Lift: Becoming a Positive Force in Any Situation
Praise for Lift"Liftchallenges our understanding of how we influence others. While it is commonly thought that influence is some political force that we exert upon others to get our way, the Quinns show how truly effective leadership begins with a selfless and positive influence that radiates from our inner core--our best self."--Thomas Glocer, CEO, Thomson Reuters"The psychological state required forLiftencompasses the very essence of leadership in the public domain: a sense of being purpose centered; guided by values, caring for others, and focused on what can be done to improve programs, conditions, and services. Lift is all about making a difference--the spirit of public service in the 21st century."--Mary Ellen Joyce, Director of Executive Programs, The Brookings Institution"You should read this book! It presents rigorous science in an accessible way and imparts practical wisdom that keeps the title's promise: it will lift you and the people around you."--R.
