I could not help but think that these same skills (below) for a career in IT are applicable to women in entrepreneurship!What skills would you look for in young people that want a career in IT (or entrepreneurship)?
CB: I'd look for someone prepared to keep an open mind about the possibilities and with passion to make a difference through information technology.
AB: Understanding what the technology can do. It isn't an end in itself.
CE: Successful business is all about teamwork. As a result, when building a team I look to hire people who combine intellect and passion for their chosen field. BlackBerry is successful because of our people's energy, enthusiasm and commitment.
AJ: Energy, curiosity, dynamism, self-starter, eager to stretch themselves, intellect, emotional intelligence.
