GENTLE PERSUASION

　　The woman who builds her professional edge in this way isn’t condemned to loneliness and isolation. You can be firm without being unpleasant, and being tough doesn’t
mean being rude or confrontational. Persuasive and assertive are the watch words.

　　"To make the right decisions and push them through, you will need the kid glove more often than the boxing glove," Lumley suggests. And a sense of humor is vital.

　　If you’re doing your job properly you’ll seldom be everyone’s favorite person. But the payoff comes in the form of a deeper liking and admiration. Respect is like money in the bank: You have to put it in before you can draw it out. Don’t worry about popularity, work on respect. That will take you a lot further in the long run.

　　温柔的说服力

　　以此构筑自己专业优势的女性不会注定孤独或受到别人的隔离。因为你可以通过不令人生厌的方式表达你的不同意见，坚决并不代表要粗暴或挑衅，要做到耐心劝服与坚定自信并重。

　　詹妮·伦莉说：“做出一个正确的决定并去实现它，你更需要的是哄小孩的耐性，而不是要和自己的同事拼个你死我活。”而幽默感也是很重要的一环。

　　尽职做工作并不能使你成为大家都喜欢的人物，可这样做的报酬却相当可观，它能让你得到更深层次的喜爱和仰慕。尊敬就如同银行里的钱一样：在提款之前你必须先往里面存款！不用担心自己的人气指数，让别人注意到你的工作表现，从长远来说，这能助你迈向成功之路。
