DEFINITION of ‘Social Entrepreneur’
A person who pursues an innovative idea with the potential to solve a community problem. These individuals are willing to take on the risk and effort to create positive changes in society through their initiatives.
Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to move in different directions.
Whenever society is stuck or has an opportunity to seize a
new opportunity, it needs an entrepreneur to see the
opportunity and then to turn that vision into a realistic
idea and then a reality and then, indeed, the new pattern
all across society. We need such entrepreneurial
leadership at least as much in education and human
rights as we do in communications and hotels. This is the
work of social entrepreneurs.
