What is a system social entrepreneur?

entrepreneur (though on rare occasions both types can appear in one person): community social entrepreneurs and system social entrepreneurs. Community social entrepreneurs are locally based, working at grass-roots level. System social entrepreneurs have both the skills and the inclination to grow initiatives to national size, affecting the entire system. System social entrepreneurship tends to take a strategic top-down approach working on issues that governments and the public see as some of the most intractable and challenging, but by working with community entrepreneurs on a grass-roots level it hopes to make real impact as well on the ground reaching parts that governments and other traditional agencies find harder to reach.Spotted at the School for Social Entrepreneurs.
