Dr. Hassan M. Abdulhaqq
There are thousands of HR executives. There are thousands of leadership authors. Very few have ever worked a night shift in an IDD residential facility, led a 3,000-person human services workforce, and stood on a national conference stage to say: this field deserves better leadership.
Dr. Hassan M. Abdulhaqq is one of them.
A two-time Bronze Stevie Award-winning HR Executive, national keynote speaker, and doctoral-level organizational consultant, Dr. Abdulhaqq has spent 30+ years at the intersection of human potential and institutional transformation — from the trading floors of Citibank to the residential hallways of the IDD sector. His work doesn’t just theorize about leadership. It was forged in it.
As the architect of HR strategy for one of the largest IDD nonprofit networks in the country (AHRC Nassau, 3,000+ employees), and as the founder of HMA Consulting & Motivations, LLC, Dr. Abdulhaqq has coached executives, trained frontline teams, and redesigned people systems inside organizations that cannot afford to get leadership wrong — because their clients’ lives depend on who shows up for work every day.
Named one of the 10 Most Influential HR Executives to Watch by CIO Views Magazine and honored with the Rising Star Award from The Arc’s National Conference of Executives, he brings that same urgency and precision to the page. He is the sole author of The EQ Connection: Transforming IDD Support Through Emotional Intelligence and co-author of Catalysts for Care: Transforming Talent, Performance & Retention — two works that are rapidly becoming essential reading for leaders in human services, healthcare, and mission-driven organizations.
Dr. Abdulhaqq also holds adjunct faculty appointments at NYU, Columbia University, Stony Brook University, Manhattan College, and Medgar Evers College, and serves as a doctoral mentor at Capella University — ensuring the next generation of leaders inherits not just theory, but wisdom earned in the field.
