Who do you think will have more success? A super talented carpenter ... or a super talented carpenter with masterful communication skills?
It's tempting to think that your skills, your knowledge, your experience, and all of the value you have to offer can speak for itself. But this is a false assumption. Communication is the one skill that helps you amplify every other skill. You can become a public speaking rockstar - the question is: will you?
What's next?
Is public speaking the single greatest superpower?
I mean, time travel would be pretty damn cool, but other than that...
It's hard to think of a skill more valuable in any field, for any level, at any time in history than the ability to get up in front of a group of people and communicate with impact.
Great communication skills cannot mask gaps in other areas - if you're a bad leader but a strong communicator, you're runway is limited.
On the flip side though, great skills cannot mask a gap in communication. If you're a great leader, but a weak communicator, your potential is capped. It's that simple.
If you want to become a better coder, designer, product manager, leader, there are infinite things to to work on - but if you had to pick just one skill to master first - it should be the skill of communication.
