The characteristics of successful social entrepreneurs
Try to shrug off the constraints of ideology or discipline
Identify and apply practical solutions to social problem, combining innovation, resourcefulness, and opportunity
Innovate by finding a new product, a new service, or a new approach to a social problem
Elkington and Hartigan (2007: 5)
Dr Anis Amira Ab Rahman 2015
Focus-first and foremost-on social value creation and, in that spirit, are willing to share their innovations and insights for others to replicate
Jump in before ensuring they are fully resourced
Have an unwavering belief in everyone’s innate capability, often regardless of education, to contribute meaningfully to economic and social development
Elkington and Hartigan (2007: 5)
Dr Anis Amira Ab Rahman 2015
Show a dogged determination that pushes them to take risks that others wouldn’t dare
Balance their passion for change with a zeal to measure and monitor their impact
Have a great deal to teach change makers in other sectors
Display a healthy impatience (e.g: they don’t do well in bureaucracies, which can raise succession issues as their organizations grow- and almost inevitably become more bureaucratic)

What makes social entrepreneur unreasonable?
They are unreasonable because they want to change the system
They are unreasonable because they are insanely ambitious
They are unreasonable because they are propelled by emotion
Elkington and Hartigan (2007)
Dr Anis Amira Ab Rahman 2015
They are unreasonable because they think they know the future
They are unreasonable because they ignore the evidence
They are unreasonable because they refuse to be made into superheroes
They are unreasonable because they try to measure the unmeasurable
