Ernesto Sirolli, Founder of the Sirolli Institute, is an authority in the field of sustainable economic development. His institute teaches community leaders how to establish and maintain Enterprise Facilitation projects in their community.
PLEASE SHARE: In September 2012, Sirolli was a guest speaker for the Ted Talks Community in which he shared his revolutionary ideas about economic development and entrepreneurship.
“Western people are imperialist, colonialist, missionaries who deal with people from different cultures in one of two ways:
- paternalistic – treat anyone from a different culture as if they were our children
- patroniz[ing] – treat anyone from a different culture as if they were our servants”
