i agree with Eric Nee. we should learn from our mistakes but i also want to say that we need to be wise enough to learn from the mistakes that other start up have made. we need to transform our minds for as Albert Einstein said we cant solve the problems with the same level of consciousness that created it. this article give social entrepreneurs a good food for thought
I agree with you Shadrack. Social entrepreneurs should learn from the mistakes of others. That is one of the reasons why SSIR exists - to provide those lessons to the entire social sector. - Eric Nee
I would say that the rumor of Liberty and Justice’s demise is highly exaggerated! The link refers to this story as a “failure”. However, Chid is pivoting and there is still life to be had. It might be more useful to encourage the readership to send t-shirt orders his way so they can get the factory up and running. As of this week, it looks Liberia is close to ending this Ebola episode. Let’s not kick a great social enterprise like this while it is down. Let’s figure out how we can help lift it back up.
Lisa. I’d hardly call my comments about Liberty and Justice, or the story that we ran in this issue about the company, kicking a social enterprise when it’s down. The fact is that the company has gone through hard times, and one of the roles of SSIR is to take impassioned looks at organizations so that others can learn from them. Our role is not to be a cheerleader. -Eric Nee
