• • • • •

Adopting a mission to create and sustain social value (not just private value), Recognizing and relentlessly pursuing new opportunities to serve that mission, Engaging in a process of continuous innovation, adaptation, and learning, Acting boldly without being limited by resources currently in hand, and Exhibiting heightened accountability to the constituencies served and for the outcomes created.

(Lees, 1998; p 4)

Think again?

“Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking, reasoning, and acting that is opportunity obsessed, holistic in approach, and leadership balanced.” (Timmons, 1999; p 27) Motivation aside, is there really a difference?

“Social entrepreneurs are one species in the genus entrepreneur” (Dees, 2001; p 2)
