What is a difference between soft-skills and hard-skills?
Soft-skills are driven by human traits, whereas hard-skills are teachable and can be measured.
Soft-skills are related to software, whereas hard-skills are related to hardware.
Hard-skills are driven by human traits, whereas soft-skills are teachable and can be measured.
Hard-skills are hard to teach, whereas soft-skills are easier “softer” to teach.
Soft-skills are driven by human traits, whereas hard-skills are teachable and can be measured.

What approach would you take on your first data science team meeting?
Ask the team what issues have occurred in the past and proceed with caution.
Force your project ideas and let them know how the team will work together.
Ask if they think that the project will be a success or not, and ask them who has the budget to pay for the project.
Ask open ended questions, gather pain points, then assess if you have them won over in principle.
