"

This book makes an all too rare and important point:  One of the distinguishing characteristics of social entrepreneurs is the way their actions and their example pave the way for peace.  Kaufman gives us multiple examples here to demonstrate that the kind of empathetic leadership exhibited by these social entrepreneurs builds an alternative to conflict and contributes to the stability and security of societies.”
