Tactfulness is the interpersonal skill of communicating sensitively and diplomatically, particularly when delivering difficult feedback or navigating disagreements, so as to avoid causing unnecessary offense. It involves reading social cues, choosing words carefully, and balancing honesty with kindness. This soft skill is valued in leadership, customer service, HR, and any role requiring delicate conversations.
