The Intrapreneur: Do Your Best Work, Accelerate Your Career, and Lead Yourself (The Datapreneurs Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

The Surefire Formula for Leading at Work and Thriving in your Career

How would you like to do your best work, accelerate your career, and be in control of the fulfillment you derive from working? And how will your life and those of your loved ones change as a result of this?

Work is an integral part of our lives. Still, the statistics around employee engagement, happiness, satisfaction, and overall employee experience show alarming numbers. The usual approach of doing your job well and waiting for recognition and reward doesn’t work. So is depending on the company or your manager to assist with your career growth. It will take a long time, a very long time, if you expect everything else to align for you, to reach and stay in a happy place in your relationship with work.

So, what is the alternative? To focus on yourself and commit to doing your best.

The Intrapreneur addresses three main areas to help approach work differently – Tactics, Strategies, and Mindsets. Inside the pages of The Intrapreneur, you will find deep insights into

  • Being an Intrapreneur and the benefits that come with it

  • The stages of career progression and how to make use of them

  • How you can be an Intrapreneur leader even if you are an individual contributor at work

  • How to leverage role models and mentors to fast-track your career

  • Why mastering the spirit of giving is critical to achieving career breakthroughs

  • The three-year rule for managing role transitions

  • People Intelligence – how to effectively work with your manager, peers, and stakeholders

  • Caring for yourself as you walk the path of the Intrapreneur

  • 31 quick tips for starting to practice Intrapreneurship right away

Prakash provides practical insights and easy-to-follow guidelines based on real examples, gained both through his personal experiences and what he has learned from the different people and situations he has come across.

As you dive into these powerful insights, you’ll gain greater confidence to work differently and, more importantly, the drive to create your own story through your work. As a result, you will find that it is easier to work on your terms, grow your career, collaborate effectively, and thrive as a leader.

And with this approach, your impact, earnings, and career will reach new heights.

When I first started my career, I always wondered if there was some type of manual out there that would help me navigate the complex world of corporations. I was also looking for something that would help me craft a roadmap for my career journey that would push me to best version of myself while also be fulfilled.

This is the book I wish I had from the very beginning. Baskar is an eloquent writer and a genius career strategist. His writing is not based on theory but his actual experiences and what helped him craft such a fulfilling career. The stories he shares are situations we see in the working world everyday.

The thing I appreciated the most were the frameworks he’s crafted. His approach to career mobility and career roadmap development are hands down some of the most eye opening pieces of advice I’ve seen.

Whether you’re just starting your career or well on your way, this is the de facto book to devise the career of your dreams. If you’re a highly motivated individual looking to take your career to the next level, purchasing this book is a no-brainer.

The core content of this book was Excellent and the author did a fantastic job summarizing the facts relevant to today's corporate workplace. I would rate it 5 stars on its' merits. Some of the key points that caught my attention were very current and relevant. The book gave people practical advice on how to become an intrapreneur, which is a type of entrepreneur who can thrive within a company. The book also covers the importance of making one's job obsolete and also how to become an irreplaceable employee.
