Near the end of the 20th Century, the leadership concept radically evolved away from the traditional concept of accomplishing work through others. Unfortunately, too many professionals unconsciously still have faulty traditional assumptions that can get them, their teams, and their organizations in trouble.
The author has researched the evolution of leadership and summarizes seven contemporary principles, twenty-six underlying leadership beliefs, and nine crucial practices of 21st Century Leadership. While too many leadership books focus on qualities, DePaul explains specific behaviors for practicing leadership.
The second edition includes new research about leadership and leadership development. With the pandemic, organizations have had to rely more on effective leadership to build high-performing teams, often at a distance. Training departments have had to radically update how they develop employees at all levels, and executive coaches have transitioned to virtual client support. With all these environmental changes as well as new social pressures on organizations to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, organizations need to change how they lead and avoid allowing their culture to develop by chance.
Gary DePaul is a performance consultant, author, adjunct professor, researcher and podcaster. He helps organizations with their leadership and performance challenges. For example, at one financial institute, the CHRO hired Gary to analyze the current capabilities of frontline and mid-level managers and to identify gaps with future capabilities.
He is a keynote speaker and has spoken at corporations, conferences, association, and chamber of commerce events. He is the author of three books: Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership; What the Heck is Leadership and Why Should I Care?; The Most Effective and Responsible Clinical Training Techniques in Medicine. As a public service, Gary hosts the podcast, Unlabeled Leadership. Since January 2001, he has completed more than 90 episodes.
