How to be a successful Intrapreneur:
Intrapreneur is a highly valuable team member, who has learned to apply the essential principles of entrepreneurship to the roles they fill within a company.
David K Williams, says intrapreneurs are essential to a companies health. They think and behave like owners.
These four key elements, pulled from a Harvard Business Journal blog post by Vijay Govindarajan and Jatin Desai.
certainly respect the value and importance of money. They understand the economic drivers that allow the organization to succeed and are able to support this fundamental truth and not fight it. A non-intrapreneur is perpetually looking for non-economic ways to justify their own advancement and payment. An intrapreneur “gets it” and does their work in a way that shows the organization they are someone it can’t afford to lose. The money and advancement finds them.
the idea never leaves them. It germinates within their mind, and they carry with them the desire to figure out how to make it work. When you see them next, they are likely to have grown the seed of an idea into a full-blown plan or they will have created an even better set of alternative plans in its stead.
Intrapreneurs aren’t afraid to change course, nor do they fear failure.
In my own training and vernacular I call this phenomenon “failing up.” I celebrate opportunities for growth, even painful ones.
Everything is a learning experience, and ego can’t get in the way, or you won’t move on.
Most importantly, intrapreneurs exhibit the traits of confidence and humility—not the maverick behavior of corporate hotshots.
If you are constantly driving change in your organization, your organization has to trust you, and that trust is built on your integrity.
Benjamin Franklin showed these traits.
Inventor, printer, thought outside the box. Not motivated by money, didn’t patent his designs. Lightning rod, eye glasses, etc.
Cultivated ideas, library, fire department, mail order catalogues.
Changed, develop our government, changed
Behaved with integrity.
