Unclench Your Fist: The Leader’s Guide to Making the Hard Call

Destination PD: Navigating transformational Professional Development

Destination PD: Navigating transformational Professional Development

By Glenn Robbins

Unclench Your Fist is a powerful guide for leaders who are willing to make the hard call, absorb the criticism, and keep going anyway. Drawing on history, philosophy, and real-world leadership moments, Glenn Robbins explores what it truly means to lead with courage when fear, politics, and public pressure collide.

Through vivid case studies of figures like Lincoln, Churchill, Shackleton, Roosevelt, and Washington, this book examines the inner battle leaders face when choosing mission over approval, clarity over comfort, and long-term impact over short-term peace. Each chapter challenges readers to let go of the need to be liked, to withstand the storm after difficult decisions, and ultimately to know when it’s time to walk away with integrity.
