This past week, I've been watching Season 3 of the HBO series The Wire (2004). The show is an extremely complex take on drug trafficking, policing and municipal government in West Baltimore.
Interestingly, leadership and management issues are issues addressed both in the hierarchies of the drug lords and their counterparts in the police force and government. What I didn't expect was to see a capital campaign being led by Dennis aka Cutty - a drug soldier who decides to help "hoppers" (teen boys) get off the streets and into his boxing gym.
A little unconventional in some ways, a lot more swearing and politically volatile language, but Dennis identifies a campaign goal, designs naming opportunities, decides to focus on major gifts rather than on corporate sponsorships or smaller donations, researches his prospect and goes out to make the "ask" with written proposal in hand.
