The Xtraordinary leadership model was really helpful in focusing my own thoughts on where I sit as a leader in a simple, clear and concise way. The reflections at the end of each section further enhanced self-assessment and accountability to be honest with myself and finally, I found the habits of Xtraordinary leaders an incredible framework to facilitate me becoming a more consistent and more effective leader. A great read, highly recommended.”
