As agents of change, we are challenged to embrace the contradiction at the heart of our work: our feelings of outrage must ignite our impulse to do right by those suffering from injustice. Social entrepreneurs and the innovators who help them solve the world’s most pressing problems embody fierce compassion. They don’t just rail at what’s wrong, they strive to make it right. They imagine a world of peace, sustainability, and shared prosperity and are unrelenting in their efforts to see that vision realized. In so doing, they re-negotiate both the roles and responsibilities traditionally consigned to business, government, or civil society, and help to harness the collective action needed to transform the world.
