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.

What is our job as entrepreneurs if not to change things that are crazy?

If everyone is a changemaker, there's no way a problem can outrun a solution

Organizations must shift away from repetitive-function hierarchies with rules and enforcement and walls. Instead, we must migrate rapidly to becoming a global 'team of teams' that comes together in whatever combination necessary to add the greatest value to the changes underway.

Every successful organization has to make the transition from a world defined primarily by repetition to one primarily defined by change. This is the biggest transformation in the structure of how humans work together since the Agricultural Revolution.

The first - the most obvious test of a true social entrepreneur - is are they possessed, really possessed by an idea.

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.
