Ethical leadership extends beyond the boardroom; it influences our personal lives and even ripples into our family dynamics. By embracing ethical leadership and the "Five P's of Sustainability," we're not only running sustainable and profitable enterprises but also becoming magnets for individuals who share our values and ethos.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the world of ethical impact and R.I.S.E leadership - a framework we've developed within the School of Ethical Impact. R.I.S.E leaders are marked by their respect, integrity, wholehearted service, and commitment to creating equitable solutions.

As social entrepreneurs, we understand that we play a pivotal role in setting ethical standards and driving a moral revolution for community transformation. Let's keep igniting positive change, living by our values, and making a difference in your organizations, communities, and personal lives. Together, we can shape a better future.

In this episode, Jenny explores the key principles of running a social enterprise, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach that goes beyond profit. The episode introduces the concept of the "Five P's of Sustainability" as a framework for social entrepreneurship: Purpose, People, Profit, Planet, and Partnerships. 

In essence, today’s episode serves as a comprehensive guide for social entrepreneurs, in adopting a holistic and principled approach to their enterprises. It underscores the transformative potential of social enterprises when fueled by a genuine commitment to positive change and calls for greater collaboration and knowledge-sharing among those striving to make a difference in the world.

Social entrepreneurs play a crucial role in making social impact a reality. They, however, face unique challenges and complexities compared to traditional entrepreneurs. Unlike traditional entrepreneurs, whose primary focus is profit, social entrepreneurs balance their mission with the need for sustainable business models as they start with a mission-driven approach, seeking to address social dilemmas and gaps in their communities.

In this episode, Jenny shifts focus from exploring the "why" behind social impact to diving into the "who" of social entrepreneurship. The episode stresses on the importance of understanding the resource gaps social entrepreneurs face, which include social capital, human capital, and financial capital that make it challenging for social entrepreneurs to grow and scale their ventures and maintain a sustainable impact, as well as the key role training and development for social entrepreneurs play in creating successful entreprises, as many lack the necessary business knowledge.

We are in a new season and we couldn't be more excited to kick it off with a thought-provoking journey through the evolution of social impact. In the coming weeks, we will talk about the who, what, and how of social impact.

In this episode, we talk about THE WHY, exploring the roots of social impact in ethical practices dating back to the 80s, discovering the transition from ethical considerations to the emergence of fair trade in the 90s and how these concepts paved the way for a more comprehensive approach to social impact today.

Throughout the series, we'll explore key aspects, including the role of social entrepreneurs and enterprises, the importance of ethical impact leadership, and the challenges and rewards of striving for long-term sustainability.

Working in a social impact space is not an easy path, but it's the right one, as we aim to create a better world for future generations. So, come along as we challenge the status quo, learn from past lessons, and work towards a more interconnected and sustainable global community.
