Recently performer Andrey Smirnov from X5, where he talked about soft skills and the importance of balance between them and hard skills. There's a problem with sound quality on the record, so a brief sammmari of what I've been saying. 1) Evolution of development and the role of software

• Recent development 20 It's gotten harder. In modern companies, developers have to design systems, write code and tests. The importance of communication and interaction between different development roles. 2) Pipeline Driven Organization and Abstractions Pipeline Organization: Integrating different roles at the beginning of the process. We need to use abstractions to simplify the work, but there is still a need to interact with the details. The importance of understanding systems under the hood and interacting with developers. 3) The complexity of the modern world and communication The world is changing rapidly, which requires constant adaptation. Communication becomes a key factor in complex and chaotic environments. Of course, you can work at the same level, but often people want active growth. 4) Growth in Engineering and Leadership Opportunity to grow in engineering through individual projects and management. The importance of leadership and the ability to lead a team. The promotion initiative comes from the employees themselves. 5) Personal Experience and Growth Planning Personal experience of becoming a leader and the importance of time planning. The ability to take responsibility and bring things to the end. The importance of communication and negotiation skills. 6) Motivation and planning It is important to understand why you do what you do. Keep people motivated, especially if you are a leader. Planning helps to structure tasks and achieve goals. 7) The Eisenhower Matrix Important and urgent tasks are solved immediately. Important, but not urgent tasks are postponed for later. Urgent but not important tasks can be delegated. Goals must be ambitious and achievable. Approach from the desired outcome (working backwards) Start with the desired result, not the current state. Take steps from goal to current state, not vice versa. • This helps to avoid mental blockages and achieve ambitious goals.

9. Project management Project management is useful for large tasks with high coordination costs It is important to use project management to achieve your goals. 10) Acceptance of responsibility Recognize and accept responsibility for your actions. Clearly define your responsibilities and goals. Focus on what you can control. 11) Problem solving and reflection Solve problems, not put them off.

• Learn from your own and others' mistakes. Be resilient to problems and set an example. 12) Development of communication skills Active listening helps to better understand the interlocutor. Adapt the communication style to the audience. It is important to understand what the audience wants to hear and adapt your speeches. 13) Problems with clarity and public speaking Discuss the importance of clarity in speech and public speaking. Personal experience at conferences and difficulties with emotions. The importance of feedback and reflection for the development of communication skills. 14) Planning and checkpoints The idea of planning with checkpoints to achieve big goals. Personal experience writing posts and creating books. The importance of recording results and planning for success. 15) Theoretical and practical approaches Difference between theoretical and practical approach to problem solving. Personal experience with theoretical and practical methods. The importance of fixing and repeating results for growth and development.

16. Leadership and soft skills Soft skills are important for both engineers and leaders. High grade engineer is now expected to lead proactively Achieving ambitious results requires leadership skills and effective communication. Without these skills it is difficult to achieve large-scale results.
