As you proceed through your IT career, you will discover that it takes more than just technical skills to advance through the ranks and earn the right to lead teams, projects, and, ultimately, companies.

Engage in research on the Internet and describe one soft skill that you feel would be the most important to you and potential employers. Provide the details that show how this skill will translate into not just a “good job,” but a great career in technology.  Analyze the soft skill from your own perspective and from the perspective of potential employers.  How can the soft skill enhance your technical prowess?
