Negotiation
Negotiation is the ability of interfacing between client/stakeholders' expectations and the reality of what a team can deliver.

Leadership
A team leader leads, monitors, and supervises a team to achieve the project goals, and take responsibility for the team’s successes and failures alike.
Team leaders motivate and inspire their team by creating an environment that promotes positive communication, encourages bonding of team members, and demonstrates flexibility.
A leader is able to delegate tasks to the right persons, to discover training needs and provide coaching, to listen to team members’ feedback and resolve issues and conflicts, to recognize high performance and reward accomplishments, to encourage creativity and risk-taking, to suggest and organize team building activities.
Motivation
Motivating a group of people over the course of a long effort can be the key for project success. Being able to motivate your team members to do their best even when deadlines get tight and projects get tricky is a very important ability.
Team members must be helped to believe in the project and continue to do their best to succeed because they want to, rather than fearing repercussions.
Communication
A good communication is the link between everybody involved in a specific project. The ability to communicate important information to all of the relevant parties is absolutely crucial to the success of the project.
A good communicator will be able to get people on board with their vision, to come to a common understanding, and know the best channels for communicating any particular piece of information.
