I just received this incredible review of “A Blueprint for Level 5 Unicorn Leadership”

“IRONWILL 360° Leadership presents a compelling blueprint for what Douglas P. Pflug calls “Level 5 Unicorn Leadership”: the rare combination of exceptional performance, deep purpose, resilience, and humanity.

Level 5 Unicorn leaders deliver outstanding results while maintaining humility, empathy, and integrity, balancing professional will with personal character. They navigate high-stakes challenges with resilience, inspire trust beyond titles, and cultivate inclusive, psychologically safe environments.

In a crowded field of leadership literature, this book stands out by blending a contemporary, actionable framework with decades of elite experience in policing, coaching, and executive mentorship. At its core, Pflug emphasises a 360° mindset, encouraging leaders to develop personal mastery, team alignment, organisational culture, and long-term vision, while balancing inner discipline with outward impact to elevate leadership beyond performance metrics into character and legacy.

The book is packed with real-world, battle-tested strategies, compelling case studies, and practical insights that make its lessons immediately actionable. Pflug shows how to cultivate resilience and grit in high-stakes roles, master the art of influence, earn trust beyond titles, and lead with conviction, humility, and integrity. The writing is accessible, structured, and modular, allowing readers to focus on topics such as integrity and courage, resilience, leading in a hybrid world, communication, building inclusive leadership practices, or navigating ethical dilemmas as needed.

Overall, IRONWILL 360° Leadership is both a practical toolkit and a call to leadership maturity. Its aspirational language serves to inspire as much as it instructs. It will resonate most with executives navigating transformative change, culture rebuilding, or high-stakes environments, and is essential reading for leaders who seek not only to perform at the highest level, but to elevate those around them.”

Kind regards,
Heather

From unlikely author to leadership architect: How three books came to life – and a fourth is on the way!!!
I’ll be honest: If you told me years ago that I’d one day publish three leadership books—with a fourth now underway—I would have assumed you were talking about someone else entirely.
