Yet when being considered for a promotion, the skills you need require a balanced combination of social and technical skills to create a good discussion. Unsurprisingly, most technical professionals are drawn to career fields that require analytical skills to help solve issues and discover new solutions to improve the world. Naturally, interests in science and math are often prerequisites to entering a technical career path. While analytical traits make you a great technician, they do not always coincide with the social skills needed to propel your career forward. Technical professionals often focus so much on their technical skills that they neglect other critical skills, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership.
