The term Intrapreneur was coined in the late 1970s in the book Intrapreneuring by Gifford Pinchot, lecturer and author. By definition, an intrapreneur is a dreamer who does. S/He takes a hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind within an organization. It refers to employees who have entrepreneurial spirit but remain within the corporate structure.
This internal entrepreneur has the ability to recognize opportunity, draw up a business plan and build a team to develop and implement the project. Some Intrapreneurs eventually realize metamorphosis into Entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs were probably once Intrapreneurs that broke out on their own, after honing their skills. This blog, along with my newsletter is written for both of these very rare persons who constantly strive for excellence in business and personally.
