As a minority leader, it can be difficult to earn the respect from a non-minority team. However, with right positioning, mindset, and attitude, it is possible to be seen as a respected leader even when others are initially skeptical of your competency and reluctant to follow your lead. Ana Marie Sacro, a Female Asian Associate Director of Engineering at Repligen Corporation, is an example. She successfully overcame credibility perception challenges. In this episode, Ana Marie shares:

✔️How she went from not being taken seriously by her team to being respected through senior endorsement, building relationships, and embracing her leadership role.

✔️How to effectively respond to passionate verbal attacks in a calm centered way.

✔️How to help less experienced professionals productively start to express their thoughts.
