Do you want to empower your team to take ownership, innovate, and lead with impact? In this thought-provoking episode of Welcome to Eloma, host Kiley Peters delves deep into the concept of building intrapreneurs within organizations – individuals who not only embrace an ownership mindset but also thrive on taking calculated risks, fostering innovation, and prioritizing people.
Kiley passionately emphasizes the significant benefits that come with nurturing intrapreneurs. These benefits include remarkable improvements in talent retention, leadership capabilities, and the development of enhanced critical thinking and problem-solving skills among your team members.
Kiley strongly encourages entrepreneurs to invest in the human aspect of your employees. Aligning their strengths and weaknesses with their respective roles and creating a positive and nurturing work environment is key to cultivating intrapreneurs.
To support organizations in their journey to build intrapreneurs, the podcast introduces The Intrapreneur Training Program offered by RAYNE IX. This program focuses on six key choices that can lead to a transformation in your team: choosing an ownership mindset, favoring curiosity over judgment, embracing innovation over stagnation, prioritizing collaboration over competition, opting for influence over maintenance, and valuing progress over perfection. The program includes introductory workshops, in-person workshop series, and customized programs complete with group coaching and online education.
Quotes:
“An intrapreneur is somebody within a business or organization who adopts an ownership mindset, somebody who's taking calculated risks, innovates, leads with impact, and in our opinion, a people-first approach.” (:57 | Kiley Peters)
“Opportunities for professional growth and continued development are two of the top three things that employees are looking for in an employer, with competitive wages being the third. So they're looking for ways that they can continue to grow, and they're looking for continued professional development opportunities. And those are things that will keep them at a company longer than somebody who's not going to help them grow”. (17:00 | Kiley Peters)
“We really need to keep an eye on how we are spending our energy and what we are asking of ourselves and of our teams. Because if we're asking people to do things that deplete their energy on a regular basis, A, they're not going to get it done as fast. It's not going to be done as well. And it really drains people. But if we really tap into what drives their energy, how they can be more productive in the work that they do and align the work that they do with the things that drive their energy, we see things get done in a fraction of the amount of time. We see them get done significantly better. So be really mindful of the energy of your team.” (18:32 | Kiley Peters)
