As the industrial revolution is over, the current connection revolution provides a platform for you to start your own business with no capital or permission. Entrepreneurship is at an all time high, as technology has removed any barriers to entry.
Seth Godin explains in his recent talk on Creative Morning's stage in Brooklyn, "this is the first time in history that everyone in this room can own a media company".
The cool thing is this new generation of entrepreneurs embrace this philosophy by allowing their employees to behave like an entrepreneur giving them power to make decisions, autonomy to manage and new skills to master. Essentially, they are intrapreneurs working in an entrepreneurial environment.
Ken Freedman of The Spotted Pig and Breslin adapts this philosophy, permitting his staff to behave like their own business owner in his restaurants. During his service training, Ken coaches them to treat their section - area of 6 tables - like hosting a dinner party in their own apartment. With this unique approach, they will automatically exercise hospitality excellence and take pride in their service.
If you are like me, I thank my dinner guests the next day via text and welcome them back. Can you imagine if your intrapreneurs are doing the same with your guests?
