Book Excerpt — Purpose Power: How Mission-Driven Leaders Engage for Change

Purpose Power provides inspiration for action. Whether you’re itching to start a movement, in the midst of building a mission-driven brand, or rebranding an organization with a storied history, this book will inspire you to imagine new possibilities.
