6. Characteristics of Social Entrepreneur • Willingness to Self-Correct The entrepreneur’s inclination to self-correct stems from the attachment to a goal rather than to a particular approach or plan” . • Willingness to Share Credit “Mr. David Kuria of Kenya, Founder of IkoToilet. Kuria built hygienic and affordable toilets for the 1 million slumdwellers of Kibera (a district of Nairobi, Kenya) but found that government regulations would make it difficult to expand his efforts. So he put the City Council of Nairobi’s logo on all Ikotoilets he constructed, which made people feel like the government was responding to their needs. The government was happy to take the credit and became very supportive of Kuria’s Ikotoilet, lifting barriers for expansion. In fact, to give my teammates here at the Unreasonable Institute an opportunity to be excellent, I routinely take credit for their work.

Willingness to Break Free of Established Structure Social entrepreneurs do not depend on traditional avenues for creating social impact (e.g. government, religious institutions) and blaze their own paths for creating impact. • Willingness to Cross Disciplinary Boundaries Social entrepreneurs not only escape established structures, they also combine thinking and resources from different disciplines to achieve their intended goal.
