Produktbeschreibung
At age sixteen, Michael "Piecez" Prosserman, a professional b-boy (break dancer), completed a school project that would grow to become a hip hop-inspired mental health charity with global reach. Through a process of continuous discovery and reflection, Prosserman and his team grew UNITY to the point where it benefitted over a quarter of a million young people. In Building Unity, Prosserman breaks down the six steps to discovering "responsible impact" and building an organization that is growth-minded, values-based, and reflective of the needs of its community. Using stories of his own evolution, learning, and growth as a leader over fifteen years, Prosserman parallels the creativity found in breakdancing with the innovation needed to build a sustainable non-profit. Six steps to discovering "responsible impact" * Spark is the inspiration, the big "why," the motivation to wake up and do something. * Build is the testing ground to clarify ideas, understand community needs, and challenge assumptions. * Trust involves building the culture of your organization, leading by example, and hiring people with dreams. Trust sets the stage for growth by empowering awesome people. * Grow is about finding the right size for your organization to create a responsible impact. * Evolve is knowing when to step back so others can step forward by building a succession plan that leaves your organization in good hands. * Re-Ignite is building from past experience and lighting the next spark within yourself. "I don't know Mike P. I don't know Unity. But when I started reading this book I couldn't stop. Ready to make your dent in the world but don't know where to start? Right here. This book. I think it will leave you chomping at the bit to get going like it did for me." -- Neil Pasricha, author of The Book of Awesome and host of 3 Books podcast ". . . An on-its-head "how to" with enough tools and tricks for anyone wanting to spark and build and grow a non-profit from idea to go. And enough rhythm, room, and groove for you - you - to lead as only you can. Authentic, vulnerable, uplifting, spinning, effortless, epic. Just like Prosserman -- one of the hardest working servant leaders I know." -- Daniele Zanotti, President & CEO of United Way Greater Toronto "An inspiring testimony from a super kind and generous leader -- who knew what he wanted from the ripe young age of 15 -- as he smiles through the tears of Building Unity. He hasn't changed one bit while always looking forward! My heart and eyes smiled and danced while reading, thanks Mike." -- Michie Mee, award-winning Canadian Hip Hop icon and actor "As you read his unique story, you'll witness the kind of perseverance we all wish for when tackling our own challenges -- and you'll be surprised at how much you learn about hip hop culture along the way. Read this book and get inspired to make a difference in your world." -- Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager(R) and Servant Leadership in Action "Mike Prosserman lived by the motto Think Big, Start Small, and Scale-Up to establish Unity Charity.
