Branding Yourself as an Intrapreneur in a “Belonging” Culture

I've always felt that being an "Intrapreneur" was vital to being successful in any company. Keeping this frame of mid allows for greater freedoms to do cool stuff. Seems to be fairly typical in most workplaces that the organization as a whole does not encourage "breaking the rules", and leaving it up to individuals to try things.

When you “belong” to a company you are given the freedom to break the rules to create and innovate. Your leaders enable you to follow your vision, not simply your job description. You become so passionate about what you do that you no longer feel like you simply work for someone else. This defines the essence of “intrapreneurship” – internal entrepreneurs.
