Employees as Entrepreneurs
Matt Heinz at Blogging Innovation: “I love the idea of employees… thinking of themselves like entrepreneurs.” I couldn’t agree more.
He asks rhetorically, “What constitutes a set of entrepreneurial attributes that employees could emulate?” then answers his own question. I’ve paraphrased (somewhat).
- Customer-centric thinking.
- Frugality
- Creative problem-solving
- Immunity to fear
- Acceptance of failure
Imagine having an entire company of people with these qualities. Wow. That’s an engaged workforce.
