Hi,
My experience of working with the fantastic team of people at BA is that they all have warm, approachable personalities. If you enjoy working within a team of people and love to help others then you may already have the personality attributes to help you succeed.
In my role as a pilot, one skill that's extremely important is to be able to communicate well with everyone around you. A huge part of this is listening intently and communicating your opinion/instructions clearly and effectively. Having great communication skills can come naturally to some although it is a skill that can be developed and improved. There are lots of online tools on how to improve communication skills, a quick Google search will help you find some of these if you think that's an area you need to work on.
