During the pandemic we heard a lot about skills, often highlighting resilience, adaptability and empathy, among others. In my opinion, there are two fundamental skills, perhaps not so popular, especially in resumption and continuity processes: “intrapreneurship” and “autonomy”.
Characteristics of the intrapreneur
- He's a good communicator. He is constantly selling his ideas to different stakeholders.
- Has a leadership spirit. Multidisciplinary teams along with projects and pressure for results are part of your routine.
- He has a strategic vision. It is essential to understand the company's strategy and have a long-term vision.
- He is creative and always wants to improve something.
- He is the protagonist of the processes and a true supporter of the “hands-on” style.
- Has a questioning mental model.
- It is highly resilient, flexible and adaptable.
Contrary to what many think, it is not only the entrepreneur who creates his own business. After all, as Gifford Pinchót defines in his work “IntraprêNeuring: why you don’t need to leave the company to become an entrepreneur?”, intrapreneurs are “all dreamers who come true”.
This is precisely why many natural intrapreneurial professionals work for companies, combining their skills in gaining internal resources and constantly questioning existing processes, tirelessly seeking innovative solutions and constantly challenging the famous “status quo”.
Who during this pandemic didn't need to experience their intrapreneurial side? In which company was the need for this employee profile not evident? After all, these people bring about change, optimize resources and “make lemonade out of lemons” – a famous popular saying.
When we talk about autonomy, in turn, it is clear that with the home office and physical distancing, this capacity is even more required, as countless decisions are made in a short space of time every day.
Therefore, companies needed (and will continue to need) to have problem-solving employees, who contribute with assertive responses in adverse situations.
Autonomy is what determines how far the individual goes based on their own resources. Therefore, autonomous people are constantly studying, sharing and learning, as this is how they recharge themselves, while the distance covered will be determined by the degree of confidence they have.
To conclude my reflection, here I share with you a phrase that I really like, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci: “I have long noticed the fact that people with great achievements rarely relax and let things happen to them. They go after it and make it happen.”
Do you agree that regardless of whether you are a collaborator or an entrepreneur, this sentence has a lot to do with autonomy, intrapreneurship and the leading role that the individual assumes wherever they position themselves in the business world?
