Social intelligence
Social intelligence is the ability to understand social situations, intentions, norms and relationships and to act appropriately among people.
Definition
It doesn't come down to being sociable. It involves reading the context, understanding roles, sensing boundaries, anticipating reactions and adapting communication without losing one's own subjectivity. It can support cooperation, but requires ethical use, because knowledge about social dynamics can also be used for manipulation.

Practice and life
After the meeting, write down: who had what interest, what norms were operating in the background and what helped or hindered the agreement.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to confuse social intelligence with ingratiation. The second mistake is reading other people's intentions without checking them in conversation.
