Unconditional Leadership by David Robinson

Unconditional Leadership by David Robinson

Now in its second edition Unconditional Leadership by David Robinson is a book about leadership… with attitude.  The book describes a values driven approach to developing people, building teams and maximising results.

The principles are illustrated throughout the book by with experience drawn from the development of Community Links and enlivened by sources as diverse as fifth-century philosopher Lau Tsu, Martin Luther-King, Billy Bragg, Queen Victoria, Mahatma Gandhi, and Jimmy Greaves!

This second edition brings the story up to date with new material about the founding of We Are What We Do, the new movement encouraging people to use their everyday actions to change the world, and David’s role leading the Prime Minister’s Council on Social Action.

Good storytellers are rare- story tellers who speak from their own experience even rarer. David Robinson is that mixture of inspiration and humility that changes the way people think, and more importantly the way they act

Gail Greengross, Communications Director, Business in the Community


David Robinson is a quietly outstanding leader who over many years has combined inspiration and effectiveness working in some of Britain’s poorest communities. The lessons he sets out here are relevant to anyone who is really serious about making a difference to the world they live in.

Dr Geoff Mulgan – Director of the Young Foundation, formerly Head of No 10 Policy Unit and founder of Demos.
