Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation


I’m not sure that I got the intended purpose out of this lecture, but there was a quote that really resonated with me.

“Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish.  They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry.”

This quote is the basis of what I took out of this lecture.  The principles not the actions driving a social entrepreneur intrigued me.  The traits I looked at were:
  • Making an approach that cuts across sectors and disciplines
  • A driving passion
  • A healthy impatience
  • Desire to not just fix, but make better

Skills like these are a recipe for successful individuals that will pave the path to the future and not just follow the old beaten road.  I admire these skills and will attempt to pursue such traits and hopefully create a successful and rewarding path for myself.
