The Kind Of Office Environment You Need To Develop Intrapreneurs
This is the key to success and growth.
What kind of office environment do employers need to create and develop intrapreneurs? Von der Heydt says:
1. Reward risks
"There needs to exist an environment where employees are willing to take risks. The risk tests and increases intrapreneurial conviction and drive," he says. "It binds the corporation in an implied contract not to stop the intrapreneur for any reason other than poor performance. "
2. Provide funding
If possible, employers should provide enough funding so that the intrapreneur doesn't have to keep coming back to ask for more funding.
3. Grant independence
Employers need to give the employee-entrepreneur as much independence as possible
If he doesn't have the creative space to work on his project, he will "rapidly loses his motivation and competency to run the project," says von der Heydt.
"What is needed more than ever is a free market entrepreneurship within organizations, headed by exceptional individuals willing and capable of leading an organization's business as it were their very own," he says. "This would boost both the company's growth and the individuals' creativity, productivity, and satisfaction level."
