Develop your people skills. Having people skills; being approachable, friendly, pleasant and respectful of others; requires that you actually interact with humans. Even in a technology-centric world, face time is essential for establishing relationships. When you're able to make others feel at ease, they're more likely to cooperate.

ASK A FILIPINA: Leadership Tip from Michele Bumgarner, Professional Race Car Driver (Global FWN100™ '13)
As for working in a man’s world, allow femininity to be an asset... Women build consensus. We pull together to solve problems and on a race team, that is a helpful skill. Racing is a team sport, but the driver is the team leader. So it is important to be firm, but by doing so with a smile, it makes it hard for people to tell you, “No.” -Michele Bumgarner, Professional Race Car Driver, Global FWN100™ '13
