Challenges of the Intraprenuer

People generally know the qualities of a future leader. While other employees are not taking actions that can make them outstanding and stand them out in the future they tend to resent the intraprenuer who is taking it. As a result they may not give enough support, encouragement or helping hand to the intraprenuer.

Intraprenuers, probably have to fight against ingrained, inbred, and inept management. That is management resistance. This is probably true in some organizations but it's a matter of an organization’s culture.

Another challenge is getting commitment to non-budgeted spending. The nature of large organizations is that spending is tightly monitored. This challenge may be more rampant than the cultural problem of management resistance, being a rational response to the need to avoid fraud and irresponsible spending.
