I remember having to assemble a cross-agency team my first month for a client proposal... I had to build relationships quickly and solidly to get the proposal squared. If not for teamwork, the proposal would have been dead from day one. Team building is HUGE, especially in an agency.

But, I believe it is the reverse, how can we be an effective writer if we aren't thinking clearly in the first place? Surely it is the ability to think that supports effective communications and also enabling us to be "keen strategists, strong leaders and luminaries in our business". For me a blog or any other writing medium (even the constraints of Twitter's 140 characters) is really a test of clarity of thought. Can you make a reasoned argument, get to the heart of a situation, engage with others, listen to what is being said, etc etc. Of course, being able to think is worthless without the ability to execute - but ultimately it is those who can reason and reflect, ie understand the why not just the how, who will prove to be the most valuable strategic PR practitioners.

These are the keys to success in many different professions. Also agree with the comment Krista made, listening should also be considered a core skill. I don't think one can effectively hone the other skills without listening first.

In a video conference my class recently had with Paull Young, he mentioned when employers are hiring, only 15% of the reason they hire someone is their technical skills; the other 85% is their ability to interact with people, both clients and fellow employees. Especially as the younger generation moves into managerial and leadership roles, team building skills are becoming more important than ever.

"Team building Skills" There are certain task which can be implemented through great team efforts and not just an individual can perform it better.
