Every child must master empathy-based ethics because the rules are changing; the less they apply the less learning them has positive impact

In an increasingly connected world it is less likely that a few people 'manage' everyone else. The new environment requires a shift in the organization of both institutions and societies, one of flexible teams of teams that come together around whatever change opportunities exist and then reform around the next.

Entrepreneurs almost always have to step out of existing institutions that embody old ways of doing things to build their vision.

Everyone says youve got to do a foundation and legal structure to finance social change. What nonsense!

Social entrepreneurs are married to a vision of, for example, a better way of helping young people grow up or of delivering global healthcare. They simply will not stop because they cannot be happy until their vision becomes the new pattern.

There are millions of people who can get things done. There are very, very few people who will change the pattern in the whole field.
