That is exactly what I am seeing. I think of things like ability to communicate, lead, etc. as force multipliers.

It does not matter much how good your technical skills are if other force multipliers are very low.

More than that, people who are bad at communicating and relations tend to stay away from these problems -- trying to bring every problem to technical level -- basically ensuring they are continuing to be at a disadvantage.
