The Intraprenuers 10 commandments

1. Build your team, intrapreneuring is not a solo activity

2. Share credit widely

3. Ask for advice before you ask for resources

4. Underpromise and overdeliver—publicity triggers the corporate immune system

5. Do any job needed to make your dream work, regardless of your job description

6. Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

7. Keep the best interests of the company and its customers in mind, especially when you have bend the rules or circumvent the bureaucracy

8. Come to work each day willing to be fired

9. Be true to your goals, but be realistic about how to achieve them

10. Honour and educate your sponsors.

Gifford Pinchot

I love your blog - I have copied and pasted some of your words to quote in a workshop I am giving next week. The workshop is titled Creating Your Business Vision and Strategy and the conference is The Aboriginal Women in Leadership Training Conference over here in Canada. I have gratitude for your words as they have inspired me today. Many of your articles speak of the same strength and truth I wish to see in our First Nations community here.
