Be an ‘Intrapreneur’ before being an Entrepreneur

Do you wish to become an entrepreneur? But don’t know where to start from? If you want to become an entrepreneur, then make sure you pass through the test of being an intrapreneur first.

The modern-day corporate culture is changing. Hierarchy in organisations is becoming a history. Leadership is no more limited to only few levels. In fact, every individual is now responsible for his or her own work. All the individuals now look after their own targets, risks, and rewards.

The kind of work environment without much of senior-junior relationships is a good one, especially if you aspire to be an entrepreneur. Become an intrapreneur first, work like an entrepreneur within your organisation.

Entrepreneurs have certain characteristics, which make them distinct from the others. They always look for new ideas and are enthusiastic to convert the ideas into realities. Their prime focus remains to draw more and more profits. They always display an energetic image. Even organisations today want their staff to take the business as their own. To keep up the positive image and to make sure you perform your best, follow these steps.

Be Aware

Employees are the greatest asset to any organisation. Being an employee, you play a vital role in your company’s growth. Both, negative and positive contributions are possible. For example, you may end up killing the time you get between two projects. Use that time to acquire some new skill and contribute positively. It would benefit both, the organisation and you. Therefore, it is important to be aware of your role in the organisation and ways to contribute the best possible way.

Polish your as well as others’ Skills

Your team may have a common goal, but as individuals, all possess different expertise. Know their expertise and make their best use. This will help you to achieve the goal more efficiently. Have team discussions, set protocols, and process flow. This way you can know more about your team and make the work more systematic.

Define Communication Channels

Clear and correct communication is an essential component of any organisation. You should be clear about your roles and responsibilities, also tell all your team members clearly about their respective duties. Job responsibilities should match the individual capabilities. Defined roles based on distinct expertise lead to a better picture of the organisation.

Resolve Issues

Team members should not feel reluctant to convey their problems to the management. They should have an assurance that whatever problem they may be facing, will be resolved fairly. Set an issue resolving mechanism. It will make the working in the organisation smoother and the employees will develop a sense of loyalty and trust towards their work and team.

Celebrate Success

Modern-day organisations are changing the conventional ways of working. The relation between an employee and an employer is more open and direct now. Organisations are also making the best use of opportunities evolving from the popular intrapreneurship culture. If you dream to become an entrepreneur, you can extract and learn a lot from such an environment by developing traits of intrapreneurs.
