Their role cannot simply be defined by their job description, intrapreneurs bring change and healthy work culture to their jobs. Within companies, the number of entrepreneurs is limited by how equity is divided but the number of intrapreneurs is only limited by the number of employees at a company that are willing to step up to the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are some traits commonly associated with intrapreneurs?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>An entrepreneurial spirit<\/strong> <br>Intrapreneurs must obviously embody an entrepreneurial spirit even if they don\u2019t own a business! They often have a strong sense of how businesses should work and the needs that must be fulfilled for the business to succeed. This helps intrapreneurs anticipate threats or opportunities and work effectively to mitigate or capitalize upon them.<br><\/li><li><strong>Highly innovative and creative<\/strong><br>Intrapreneurs are incredibly valuable to firms because of their ability to think critically and find unique solutions to difficult problems. They often bring fresh perspectives that allow them to look at issues at hand and find new ways of tackling them. This means that they have to be incredibly resourceful within the constraints that are given to them.\u00a0<br><\/li><li><strong>Not afraid to take (calculated) risks<\/strong> <br>If an intrapreneur is expected to go above and beyond then sometimes that means that they have to be able to take leaps of faith in their ideas and follow through on them. This can be a daunting thought, especially in a corporate environment where maintaining the status quo and prioritizing one\u2019s job security is an incredibly pervasive ideology. Intrapreneurs remain intrepid in the face of doubt and are willing to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/en\/blog\/investments\/strategies-for-mitigating-risk-in-a-startup\/\">risk<\/a>. Oftentimes, it pays off quite handsomely for them!<br><\/li><li><strong>An insatiable desire to learn and grow<\/strong><br>Intrapreneurs are always on a quest for edification and developing themselves as people and professionals. They are the kinds of people that are consistently reading whatever they can and humble enough to ask questions when they don\u2019t know something. An intrapreneur is never satisfied with the scope of their knowledge and remains a scholar for life. This scholarly approach to life proves incredibly helpful for an intrapreneur\u2019s ability to come up with poignant solutions to problems presented to them.<br><\/li><li><strong>Collaborative in nature<\/strong><br>Being able to work exceptionally well with others is a must for intrapreneurs. Intrapreneurs are known to be able to fit all the pieces whether they be ideas or people. This means being able to actively listen to input from other people and take advantage of the help that the talents of others offer. Considering that intrapreneurs can be anybody in a company\u2019s hierarchy, they must be able to work well with others going up or down the ladder.<br><br>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/pexels-photo-355952.jpeg\" alt=\"Intrapreneur Creativity\" class=\"wp-image-2014\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notable Intrapreneurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand what an intrapreneur is, it is worthwhile to look at some <strong>prominent examples<\/strong> of people behaving as such.

His responsibilities grew over time allowing him to manage more and more divisions of Microsoft until officially becoming Chief Executive Officer 2 years later in January 2000.

You need to be attentive and nurture it as you would a child. Take complete ownership of your work so that your performance is not dependent on anyone else. Taking accountability is useful for holding yourself to a standard of your choosing and understanding what your work means to you. Go above and beyond for your baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Delineate goals for yourself and make new ones when you reach them<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, even more, important than reaching your goals is being able to set new ones for yourself. It\u2019s nice to be able to meet a goal but too much complacency and idleness can be detrimental for the ambitious professional. Setting new goals can help one on a steady path to new heights. It\u2019s said that if you\u2019re not moving forward, you\u2019re falling behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Read, read, and read some more<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Subscribe to newspapers, read scholarly articles, essentially; do everything you can to consume as much material as you can. This is important for keeping you informed on happenings in the business and greater world. It\u2019s also a great way to keep your brain engaged and sharp. This might not make you an erudite, but you\u2019ll at least be an informed denizen within your community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn to actively listen<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a high functioning intrapreneur means able to <strong>collaborate<\/strong> with a range of people and being able to effectively lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"977\" height=\"841\" src=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/verifi_wcef2018.jpg\" alt=\"Team, awarded at the World Crypto Economy Forum 2018\" class=\"wp-image-2581\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/verifi_wcef2018.jpg 977w, https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/verifi_wcef2018-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/verifi_wcef2018-768x661.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maccelerator.la\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/verifi_wcef2018-217x187.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><figcaption>Davide D.C. with his team, awarded at the World Crypto Economy Forum 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>How are you going to be able to lead and collaborate with others if you can\u2019t hear their input over the sound of your voice or thoughts? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not going to be an expert on all matters so being able to draw from the <em>multifaceted experience<\/em> of others will help you cover any gaps in your knowledge and position you to receive important insights that might be useful at a later time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business study programs where one can learn about entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship are becoming increasingly popular among those coming to Los Angeles for educational purposes.
