Where are your intrapreneurs?
Retention and engagement are old hat as far as hot business topics go. Keeping the talent satisfied sounds like a great idea, but what does it take to truly engage the loyal, the honest and the faithful and brilliant intrapreneur?
HBR found that in a study of corporate intrapreneurs, workers scored high in the areas of confidence and humility, rather than the maverick-like behavior often associated with successful corporate innovators. They also exuded high self-awareness and sense of purpose – attributes that won’t keep talent in a job for money alone. These workers are passionate, dedicated and may be the quiet backgrounders that have the potential to take your business from good to great.
