Communication is more powerful than any "technical" skill.

Why?

A person with low technical skills can marshal an army of experts.

But a person with low communication skills has only a nice product and the hope someone might discover it.

Technical ability in both is a force multiplier.

It's easier to complain than to drive positive change.

One has a far better return than the other.

Plans aren't bad. Poorly managed plans are bad.

Getting stuck on the plan is as bad whiplashing everybody with shifting options. Both extremes slow things down.

Great leaders have a plan but it doesn't lock them in. They plan, they learn, and then they adjust.

True in your experience?
