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.
"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 BigBlueGumball
Author 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, Retired

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 Shrouder
Speaker, 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, FCMA

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 Cebollero
