What are the typical personality traits of an entrepreneur? What qualities should they possess? Defining the entrepreneurial profile is a task that concerns both HR professionals and those specialising in business start-ups.  

Some people believe the profile and skills required to become a successful entrepreneur differ at each stage of the project and change over time. Others believe the characteristics of an entrepreneur should remain unchanged, regardless of the project’s stage. Between these two opposing poles lies a variety of more nuanced positions.
