One rebel intrapreneur path is to CEO.

  • 096 Erin Andrea Craske Why you shouldn’t be a rebel intrapreneur
    Aug 2 2024

    The one question we have not explored on this podcast, for obvious reasons, is whether one should be a rebel intrapreneur in the first place? Maybe we shouldn’t. Erin Andrea Craske makes the case that pursuing a rebel intrapreneurial career is a recipe for stress and disillusionment.

    In one part of our conversation, Erin talks about three types of people at work. Those who:

    * Blend in.

    * Do their best, even though they don’t really accept or believe what is going on in the organization. Those people eventually burn out.

    * Disagree and quit.

    None of these are rebel intrapreneurs.

    So, does this mean we should not pursue intrapreneurship? That is what we discuss.

    Prepare to be challenged.

  • 095 Nils Davis Your resume should show how amazing you are
    Mar 14 2024
    Rebel Intrapreneurs use the Strategyzer Business Model Canvas FigJam template to turn possibilities into plans. Learn about the business model canvas FigJam template here and Try FigJam for free: https://psxid.figma.com/d8auy7In one Linkedin post, Nils Davis showed me how my resume (all of ours) should tell the story I want the hiring manager to know. Primarily that I am the role they are looking for. Let’s face it, we have 6-10 seconds to get the hiring manager to know we are the one for them. How?Redesign our summary section. Nils suggests the following format: * I am a … * I have … * I have a reputation for … This seems one heck of a lot better than a summary section with a bullet point list of skills. Rebel Intrapreneurs are good at positioning themselves in their areas of expertise and selling themselves and their ideas. Nils and I discuss the importance of treating our resume as a sales letter. More about Nils Davis: His Linkedin post that we talked about Nils Davis on Linkedin The Perfect PM ResumeThe Secrets of Product Management Podcast His Book: The Secret Product Manager Handbook Today’s episode is brought to you by Figma.
