What is an entrepreneur?

A great description of an entrepreneur by Bill Zeng is
"Great entrepreneurs usually have something in common: great intellect and intuition as well as the capacity for original thought and the ability to inspire. They are the ones that tend to see direction from chaos and uncertainty that others don’t see."
I concur, most definitely  an entrepreneur has a fertile mind that finds a way through or around adversity and difficult situations or obstacles leading to a new answer or creative solution.
Its also most important to be aware that an outcome will most probably be something totally unique and unexpected as the thinking that lead to the original problem can't find a solution, only a new way of thinking will provide the solution.
Who was it that said "creativity is the mother of invention"?

Women Board members

Over the past year, 26pc of all non-executive director appointments in Britain's biggest 100 companies were female. In contrast, just 9pc of executive posts went to women, a report by Norman Broadbent found.

In the FTSE 250, those figures are 24pc and 7pc respectively.

Neil Holmes, of the search firm, said: "We are finding that women are appearing on shortlists, but the supply on the executive side is still lower than it should be and this requires companies to invest in long term cultural changes.

"This must be about quality derived from retention and experience, and not about tokenism."

The study also warned FTSE 100 companies will fail to meet Lord Davies' targets for getting more women on boards by 2015, just a year after they were introduced.
