Best book I've read on leadership
I have two main gripes about many leadership books out there: 1) they contain a lot of fluff, and 2) they lack research to back up the model/assertions. Gary's book is neither of these things. If you've ever felt like you don't "get" leadership or are confused by sometimes conflicting models, this book is for you...
I've recommended this book to many others over the years and it has a prominent place on my bookshelf.

Finally, a book that connects the dots for today's leaders
I have been a leader and leader-of-leaders for many years. I taught military officer candidates how to lead, trained those on active duty how to become better leaders, and even helped revised the leadership curriculum for the Air Force's office candidate commissioning program that is used at 148 colleges and universities across the nation. In my 30-plus years as a leader, trainer of leaders, and, hopefully, a positive leadership role model, this is the best leadership book I have read.

DePaul's book provides easy to understand and apply principles and practices
Leadership can be so misleading and misunderstood BUT after you have had a chance to read Dr. DePaul's book, that will change for you. As a professor at UNC Charlotte in the Belk College of Business, I am always looking for the most current, impactful, and interesting content for my students. Dr. DePaul's book provides an easy to understand and apply principles and practices. He has also spoken to several of my classes and the value of 'think differently about leadership' has stuck with me and with them. Thank you, Dr. DePaul.

An easy, comprehensive read!
I had to have this book for a class I'm taking for my Master's degree. A great, easy to read and I was able to glean much from it. It will join my book collection for me to review from time to time.

It's time for someone to tell the story about how leadership is changing. If you read one or two contemporary leadership books, you might miss this change. Nine Practices of 21st Century Leadership tells this new and evolving leadership story.
Do you want to know:
- How leadership is changing?
- The real purpose for practicing leadership (and it's not about getting people to accomplish stuff)?
- How leadership and management differ?
- The best practices of leadership?
I answer these questions and more. May you find this book worthwhile and as enjoyable as it was for me to write!
