We live in an interesting, unprecedented historical moment of uncer-tainties, complexities and changes that can bring new energy, and in which scenarios of power and influence shift with exponential speed, evidence of a future that is already present. The times in which we live necessarily call for new leadership. In this book, the figure of the social entrepreneur is outlined as a new leader who is able to ‘unravel and recompose the cards’, to ‘connect the dots’, to identify patterns and create connections in order to generate a real, transformative and systemic social impact, based on the develop-ment of skills and not only competences. If you are looking for the ‘extraordinary ordinariness’ in yourself and others, if you are not content to watch the world change, but want to be a change-maker yourself, this is the book for you.
