Soft skills, also known as interpersonal skills or transversal competencies, are personal qualities that allow a person to interact with others effectively and harmoniously. These skills are not linked to technical or academic knowledge, but to the way a person relates to others, communicates, and handles various situations in the work and personal environment.

In the team we have: developers, designers, and project managers. The deadline is approaching, but there’s a delay in the design phase.

This is causing frustration within the team, especially with the developers who feel the delay might impact their work. The project manager has called a meeting to discuss how to move forward.

The PM demonstrates effective leadership by encouraging collaboration and open communication. Instead of imposing a solution or ignoring the concerns of the team, the PM facilitates a productive discussion that will likely lead to a more sustainable solution, address concerns from both sides, and maintain team morale. This approach emphasizes team cohesion and ensures that both the designers and developers feel heard, fostering a more cooperative environment.
