Social skills are the interpersonal abilities people use to communicate, cooperate, and build relationships effectively, including active listening, empathy, conflict resolution, and reading nonverbal cues. They are essential in nearly every workplace for teamwork, client interaction, negotiation, and leadership. Strong social skills are often cited by employers as differentiating factors alongside technical expertise.
