Entrepreneurship is not just reserved for business owners.
While many workers still dream of being their own bosses, today employees are also leveraging their entrepreneurial talents inside their organizations to be “intrapreneurial” at work. Companies that embrace this spirit and create entrepreneurial environments not only benefit from the ideas that are generated, but potentially a more loyal and engaged workforce. In fact, a University of Phoenix School of Business survey[i] finds the majority of workers who are satisfied with their jobs, work in organizations that provide entrepreneurial opportunities (61 percent).
