Ashoka's founder Bill Drayton believes that everyone can be a changemaker. In this audio lecture, he reflects on many of the early influences that helped him understand how to advance true social progress. From these beginnings, he traces his own path in public service, and describes the founding of Ashoka which has grown into a flourishing network of social entrepreneurs who can serve as role models for further progress in promoting social justice around the globe.
Bill Drayton has been a social entrepreneur since he was a New York City elementary school student. By high school, he was also a NAACP member and actively engaged in and deeply moved by civil rights work. At Harvard, he founded the Ashoka Table, and at Yale Law School he launched Yale Legislative Services. Drayton is also a manager and management consultant, and served with McKinsey and Company for almost 10 years. He served briefly in the White House, and taught both law and management at Stanford Law School and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He is currently board chair of Get America Working! and Youth Venture, both major strategic innovations for the public good. Drayton has received many awards for his achievements, among them the MacArthur Fellowship.
