Goodreads asked Gary DePaul:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Gary DePaul I had read about eight or ten contemporary leadership books and even heard some of them talk at public and private events. After listening to James C. Hunter's audiobook on servant leadership, I realized that no author to my knowledge has tried to synthesize and tell the collective story on how leadership is evolving.

In my graduate studies, I conducted some meta-analysis research to identify new patterns about some academic subject. I realized that I could apply the same process to help readers more effectively learn about 21 Century Leadership. By doing so, readers could not only learn about how leadership is changing but also learn what books and resources are available to further their leadership development.
