I'm very lucky in this respect. My current (so far) manager is not from an IT background but rather from a communications one.

At first I dreaded entering his office or even going to a meeting he was attending as at the end of every session there would be a soft skills analysis.

But it Worked.

There are still some managers (especially 1 female one) that I cannot seem to communicate with but together we are working on it and I'm sure that it will come together 😀
