The Intrepreneurial Organization

It's all about time.

We can't make more of it.  We can't see it but we see its effects. We can't hear it but we never stop talking about it. We can't speed it up and we sure can't slow it down. No matter what, time just seems to crack, slip, drip and slide away.  But perhaps more importantly, few of us realize that no matter how hard we work to keep track of time, and no matter how much effort we put into managing it, time continually proves -whether we like it or not- that it in fact, manages us.

Business owners and employees alike are struggling to understand, predict, and navigate constant change.  Consider if you will that change is simply another word for time. As Mereon links living and life-like system, we have taken on the task of translating the fundamental principles into organizing and operational imperatives for business. Why? Because businesses are comprised of people; those who run the organization, and those they serve.

Intrepreneur: an individual who shares the values and vision of an enterprise. Such a person knows that they are best suited to investing their energy into a concept or organization founded by another. They are fulfiled by accepting responsibility for their job, helping to help minimize the risks, and optimize and participate in the rewards.

What happens when an individual is not aligned with the company's values, its purpose, mission and mandate? What happens when an individual's reason for showing up on the job to collect a paycheck? What happens when they are not vested -emotionally, mentally, temporally and we dare to say, spiritually- in  the organization's vision?  How often is a job given for reasons other than competence? How does deep-seeded frustration (or worse) affect communication? How often does adversity arise due to intolerance, overt  or covert disrespect based on difference?
