Social Competence

The term social competence originates from psychology and refers to a combination of assertiveness and adaptability in communication and interaction situations. In this context, social competence enables effective action by maximizing positive outcomes and minimizing negative ones. In everyday life, and particularly in the workplace, social competence is often understood as soft skills. These include the ability to positively influence the behavior and attitudes of colleagues, such as teamwork and motivation (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soziale_Kompetenz).
