I thought since we are all predicting and analysing finalists, discussing who's better that it might be good to separate out some of the main skills and rank the final 5. Feel free to add skills.

Leadership - Yasmina, Kate, Lorraine, James, Debra

Sales - Debra, Kate, Lorraine, Yasmina, James (???) Am stuck on this one. It's hard as they all have varied performance.

Team playing - Kate, James, Yasmina, Debra, Lorraine

Communication Skills - Kate, Yasmina, James, Debra, Lorraine

Pitching (I've excluded TV as I don't think they will do TV presenting) - Kate, Debra, James, Lorraine/Yasmina

business acumen/Instinct - Lorraine, Yasmina, Kate, Debra

Ability to maintain personal relationships - James, Kate, Yasmina, Debra, Lorraine

Motivational Skills - Kate, Yasmina, James, Lorraine, Debra

Ability to answer difficult Questions - Lorraine, Debra, Kate, Yasmina, James

Creativity - Lorraine, Yasmina, Kate, James, Debra (Again, struggle with this one)

Approachability - James, Kate, Yasmina, Lorraine, Debra

Negotiation - Debra, Yasmina, Kate, Lorraine, James (again, a little stuck here)

Ambition - Debra, Yasmina, Kate, Lorraine, James

Focus - Debra, Lorraine, Yasmina, James, Kate

Charm - Kate, Debra, Yasmina/James, Lorraine

Persuasion in the boardroom - Lorraine, Yasmina, Kate, James, Debra (but then I think Debra shouldn't be bottom).

Lorraine has no people skills and is not good at maintaining personal relationships - I'd say that was her weak spot.

Debra has no charm but she does have ambition.

Your rankings are too generous to Lorraine and Kate in my opinion.

For charm I'd have Debra last by a country mile
