It's not to give people fish It's not to teach them how to fish It's to build a new and better fishing industry

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

What is the most powerful force in the world? And I think you would agree that is a big idea if it is in the hands of an entrepreneur who is actually going to make the idea not only happen, but spread all across society. And we understand that in business but we have need for entrepreneurship just as much in education, human rights, health, and the environment as we do in hotels and steel.

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

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.

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.

Imagine a world where everyone is really a change maker.
