(Community Matters) David Bornstein & Susan Davis’ new book.  I enjoyed their book – tightly organized, good definition & examples of social entrepreneurship, challenges of causing change, envisioning an innovative society & thoughts for changemakers.

All of them share some basic tempermental qualities.  For example, entrepreneurs are comfortable with uncertainty, have a high need for autonomy and are biased toward action. Many social entrepreneurs can reacall a time in childhood when they were actively encouraged by an adult to take initiative – to start a club or organize a league, for example – and then assisted in the process. The most common misconception about entrepreneurs is that they like to take risks.  They will go to extreme lengths to minimize or eliminate risks, painstakingly seeking information to increase the odds of success.
