Tact (9)

I believe the answer is:

diplomacy

'tact' is the definition.
(I know that diplomacy is a type of tact)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for diplomacy that I've seen before include "Skilful handling" , "Tact" , "Tactful dealing" , "Art of negotiation" , "Savoir-faire" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Times.
