In "Zilch," Nancy Lublin, the transformative CEO behind the explosive growth of Do Something, delivers a masterclass in achieving more with less. Drawing from her firsthand experience of reviving a floundering not-for-profit into a dynamic, youth-driven powerhouse, Lublin shares the ingenious strategies that not only saved her organization but propelled it to the forefront of social change. Through her engaging narrative, readers are offered a rare glimpse into the art of maximizing resources, leveraging nonfinancial incentives, and executing grassroots marketing campaigns with minimal budgets yet maximum impact. Beyond a mere memoir, "Zilch" stands as a beacon for both the non-profit and for-profit sectors, illuminating the path to excellence in times of financial austerity. Lublin, with her sharp wit and unwavering pragmatism, distills lessons from the trenches, complemented by insights from leaders of other thriving non-profits like Teach for America, Save Darfur, and Mozilla. This book is an essential manifesto on the power of innovation, determination, and resourcefulness, proving that with the right approach, you can indeed do more with less, turning constraints into creativity that leads not just to survival, but to thriving success.
