The Ten Rules of Intrapreneurship

November 28th, 2009

I received these from a friend of mine years ago.  I keep a copy at my desk.

These are meant for the folks who need to create change.  You may not have the authority you need, but you have the influence.  You may not be steering the ship, but you know who is gonna catch hell if it starts to sink.

1.  If your project has zero chance of failure, it’s not worth doing.

2.  Circumvent orders aimed at stopping your project.

3.  Do any job needed to make your project work.

4.  Find good people to help you.

5.  Do it the way it will work or do not do it at all.

6.  Work underground as long as possible.

7.  Never bet on a race unless you are in it.

8.  It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

9.  Be true to your own goals.

10.  Honor your sponsors.

I want to know what you think. Leave a comment and let’s have a discussion.
