Review

"As a CEO, executive coach, author, and adjunct professor of leadership at NYU and Columbia, I am obsessed with leadership books and have read, literally, hundreds of them over the past twenty-five years. And I can truthfully state that Gary DePaul's brilliant Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership is one of the best and most important books on the topic I've ever read. Both scholarly and practical, this information-packed and inspirational guidebook will appeal to – and benefit – business professionals, academics, and students alike. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, DePaul references hundreds of different resources to help define, describe, and demystify what leadership is. And – of equal importance – what it is not. Through his innovative "Nine Practices" framework, as well as the numerous additional models, metaphors, processes, roadmaps, quotes, and sources he provides along the way, this book is a masterclass on the topic of leadership, and one that will help anyone, at any level, to become a more educated, effective, and inspiring leader."Todd Cherches, CEO of BigBlueGumballAuthor of VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life"In Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership, Gary DePaul provides a masterfully comprehensive resource for leaders. Gary provides specific examples and recommended actions that will encourage leaders at all levels to try new practices and expand their leadership capabilities."Colonel Kim Campbell, USAF, RetiredManaging Director, Victory StrategiesCo-author of Aiming Higher: A Journey Through Military Aviation Leadership"Dr. Gary DePaul has provided a smart, concise, user-friendly manual for 21st Century Leadership. I gained valuable insights in these pages – both cautionary (for example, the traditional leadership assumptions) and endorsed (for example the principles of leadership). From learning about the brain and the systems it uses to make decisions (introducing us to the reality of unconscious bias) to the beliefs that guide the way we acknowledge others and work together, Gary provides a roadmap for effective leadership that centers on people and relationships. As a speaker, facilitator, and consultant in the field of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, I appreciate that the awareness and application of the information presented in these pages (and how it is presented) can help support a strong commitment to EDI.As Gary shares, 21st leadership focuses on the action, not the role. The way he has laid out and explained the nine practices (along with tools, techniques, resources, guidelines, "to-do's" and "a word of caution"!) allows for a practical and well-rounded understanding designed to make our actions not only more effective, but more meaningful - which is what creating inclusive and equitable spaces for our colleagues and teams is all about."Annemarie ShrouderSpeaker, Facilitator, & Consultant in EDI"Gary DePaul's Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership is authentic and practical in its applicability of leadership principles. His deliberate approach provides profound insight into leadership practices past the well-worn theories found in other books. Gary brings depth to employing effective leadership practices within real world environments. He demonstrates how 21st century qualities for impactful leadership incorporates empathy, storytelling, and integrity. Gary debunks the leadership notion of command and control in favor for a human approach of engage and embrace. This is one, and possibly only, leadership book you'll need in your library."Ajay M. Pangarkar CTDP, FCPA, FCMACEO & Partner, CentralKnowledge.com and LRNOnline.comAward-winning Performance Strategist and Author, The Trainer's Balanced Scorecard"If you are looking for a foundational reference to hone your leadership skills Dr. DePaul has created that reference. One of the biggest challenges for a leader is ensuring that members of the workforce are engaged, satisfied, and productive. The Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership guides the readers to a clear understanding of creating the blueprint of taking care of their most precious resource, the only resource inside an organization that can increase in value. When the workforce is successful, the leader and the organization are successful."Chris CebolleroPresident/CEO of Cebollero & AssociatesAuthor of Ultimate Leadership: 10 Rules for Success
