Session: Beyond Technical Expertise: The Power of EQ and People Skills in Building Strong Software Teams
I will explore the often-overlooked but critical role of emotional intelligence (EQ) and people skills in building successful software teams. While technical expertise is essential in software development, it is not sufficient for creating high-performing teams. I will present how a lack of people skills and EQ can lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and low team morale.Key Takeaways
- Technical expertise is necessary but not sufficient for creating high-performing software teams.
- Emotional intelligence and people skills are often overlooked but critical for building successful software teams.
- Building emotional intelligence and people skills takes intentional effort and practice.
- Investing in emotional intelligence and people skills training for software teams can result in improved team performance and productivity.
