The Bizarre Intrapreneur Battle<\/h1>\n

No matter how much some people keep supporting that “the intrapreneurs do not exist”<\/em>, or discredit them as “second league entrepreneurs”<\/em>, the true reality is that the intrapreneur is, for real, like a four leaf clover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You barely can see them, but once you find one, and as long as you are be able to take care of it and keep it as it deserves, it will be capable of providing us with something much more crucial than \u201cgood luck\u201d.<\/p>\n

Because nowadays, as we are living under extreme uncertain conditions, and everyone competes with each other, it won’t be the good luck the last hope to avoid our company from being totally forgotten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Present and future belong to those companies that will be capable of fighting with intelligence in a true battle for the continuous reinvention, so new proposals can provide them with an ideal exponential growth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, bizarre<\/em> is understood with a different meaning, \u201cbizarro\u201d<\/em>, the Spanish one, which involves, in a more wide sense, what a fighter is and must be: a warrior, a hero inside the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cBizarro\u201d<\/strong>, from italian etimology:
\n1. adj. Brave, hardworking.
\n2. adj. Generous, magnificent, splendid.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let\u2019s focus on learning which are the characteristics that truly define the bizarre intrapreneur, the real fighter that any company needs.<\/p>\n

Brave<\/h2>\n

The intrapreneur detractors may say that the real bravery belongs to the entrepreneur or business owner<\/strong>, that under extremely uncertain conditions, and “without the comfort” of a salary at the end of the month, are capable of betting it all.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, the entrepreneur merit does not become the intrapreneur demerit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Because, if there is something that the intrapreneur really stands out, that is the bravery<\/strong>. A more than required feature in order to:<\/p>\n
