Business and Social Entrepreneurship

We define entrepreneurship as behavior that results in an increase in the efficient and/or effective use of resources to better meet societal needs. Entrepreneurship is related to leadership in that both are exercising their "right" minds (using Daniel Pink's terminology). Leaders make a positive and significant difference by helping entrepreneurs meet their need to make a positive and significant difference. Both leaders and entrepreneurs continuously search, listen, expect that a "better wheel for these times is in the making," challenge "the pervasive injustice," confront in exact terms our own existence, and create dangerously (using Robert Greenleaf''s terminology).
