Abstract: Abstract New for the second edition, this chapter looks at the skill sets required to become a good entrepreneur. There are three key competences that entrepreneurs either need to have themselves or have available within their team. These are the ability to develop and spot ideas and opportunities, the ability to marshal and manage resources, and the ability to move into action. Each of these break down to five key skills which are examined in the chapter. We then look at the relative importance of each skill for the three business types described in the previous chapter to understand the entrepreneurial requirements of each one. You are then invited to assess your own skill levels to help you match your skills to a suitable business style or identify areas for team development and training.
