# How to develop soft skills?
Developing a skill takes time, experience, and often making mistakes that will help us learn and grow. Being a leader is not simply about getting people to do what you want. Leadership means helping and inspiring others to reach their maximum potential, it must generate commitment, empathy, willingness to give a hand when you see a teammate in need, have the ability to listen, know how to transmit information, know how to mediate, and be an observer of each situation. The key to all this is the time invested and help develop an organizational culture that adopts and fosters these behaviors.
