Top 12 Non-Technical Skills that a Project Manager Needs

It's not enough to know all the technical Project Management skills. To succeed, you need a load of non-technical skills too. Here are my top 12.

First, by non-technical, I mean skills that are not the key PM skills like scheduling, risk management, resource planning.

Communication goes without saying.
So, I don't include it. Instead, let’s get more granular.

Most of these have a big element of communication in them:
1. Leadership
2. Facilitation
3. Feedback
4. Briefing
5. Presenting
6. Influencing
7. Negotiating
8. Problem Solving
9. Decision Making
10. Conflict Resolution
11. Financial Skills
12. Strategic thinking
