I think I’ve said this before, but I genuinely believe that broadly speaking communication and other “soft” skills are more important than what are considered “technical” ability. And that becomes increasingly more true as people gain in seniority.

Like, it’s absolutely not an all-or-nothing type of deal. But it’s more that if you can’t effectively work in a group setting, the importance of someone’s individual technical ability increasingly begins rounding to irrelevance.
