1st Edition IRONWILL 360° Leadership A Blueprint for Level 5 Unicorn Leadership
By Douglas P. Pflug

THE BLUEPRINT FOR EXTRAORDINARY LEADERSHIP IS IN YOUR HANDS—ARE YOU READY TO RISE?

The world doesn’t need more managers. It needs bold, resilient, high-impact leaders—the kind who don’t just climb the ranks but transform the teams and organizations they lead. In IRONWILL 360° Leadership: A Blueprint for Level 5 Unicorn Leadership, Douglas P. Pflug delivers a game plan for leaders who refuse to settle for average.

This isn’t another leadership theory book filled with fluff and clichés. This is a battle-tested, high-performance leadership manual forged from decades of elite experience in policing, coaching, and executive mentorship. Inside, you’ll find the real-world strategies, hard-won lessons, and non-negotiable mindsets required to master Level 5 Leadership—the rare balance of professional will and personal humility that defines the most exceptional leaders.

Through gripping case studies, actionable frameworks, and no-BS insights, Doug equips you with the tools to:

Develop the resilience and grit to thrive in high-stakes leadership roles.
Master the art of influence and earn trust that transcends titles.
Lead with conviction, humility, and unwavering integrity—the hallmarks of true leadership excellence.
If you’ve drawn inspiration from Finding Your Granite or IRONWILL 360° Leadership: Moving Forward, this book will take you even further, challenging you to rise above mediocrity and become the leader others aspire to be.

Great leaders aren’t born—they’re built. The blueprint is here. The choice is yours.

Super excited to speak at Queen Elizabeth PS - Leamington today for 200 Grade 7/8 students on
"I CAN. I MUST. I WILL."

I love being able to positively impact the youth of today and our leaders of tomorrow.

It was wonderful that a Ironwill DP speaking engagement with AGT Products inc. and Mark Steffler brought us back to the GTA. We were able to see Mom Joan Kerr-Pflug for lunch one day then Aunt Joan and Uncle Jim for dinner the next. And.... Between my promise to donate 100% of the profits from my book "Finding Your Granite" and a corporate donation at the event, we were able to donate $1250.00 to Andrew Gough and www.v-eh.ca. I'd say that was an amazing few days!!!!

The other night I had a great question from a parent. "If your coach in grade 9 didn't say anything to you about trying out for football, where would you have ended up? Would your story have ended up being the same as it is today?

My answer..."I honestly do know. His belief in my lit a spark in me that fuelled a lifelong fire. When I turned 40 I was able to thank John....he didn't know what I was talking about. This is why it's so important that adults realize the impact and influence they can have whether they intend or not. John's simple kindness was the key that unlocked my potential."

Always remember that little eyes are watching so lead with your best self!!

Some great feedback from last night coming in!!! Let me know if your workplace or team would like to hear I CAN. I MUST. I WILL. DP

"Coach Doug took the time to talk to our group of female hockey players. His story was one of perseverance that really resonated not only with our players but with the parents as well. My daughter actually told me today that she was attempting to be 1% better than she was yesterday and she said “Wildcats Can, Must and Will”. This is the second time I was able to hear Coach Pflugger speak and it was just as good as the first time! I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of an uplifting, insightful hour with someone who has been there and lived it!

Coach Steve T"
