Rj Grimshaw guest Mind The Innovation Leadership Podcast

An intrapreneur is a person who creates something from nothing. They are usually self-starters who are able to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions. They are often seen as the future leaders of companies because they are constantly looking for ways to improve their own work environment.

Intrapreneurs are people who take initiative and make decisions without being told what to do. They are skilled at finding solutions to problems and they know how to get things done.

As we know, innovation is key to success in business today. And if you want to innovate, you must work within your organization. But how do you go about creating innovative products and services when you’re working inside a large corporation?

You might think that you can’t because you’re surrounded by so many people who aren’t interested in helping you. But you’d be surprised. In fact, most companies are filled with intrapreneurs who are eager to help others succeed. Intrapreneuring is a form of entrepreneurship where employees develop their own ideas and solutions to problems. Intrapreneurers are often viewed as risk-takers who are willing to try new approaches and explore untested areas.
