Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership (eBook, ePUB)

A Guide for Inspiring Creativity, Innovation, and Engagement

Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
