The Importance of Communication Skills for
Technical Professionals

• It is common knowledge that each and every
  technical professional requires more than just
  the requisite technical skills to succeed.
  Getting by with only technological proficiency
  would have been possible in an ideal world, we
  inhabit the world which is far from ideal.

• In order to make a mark communication skills are
  equally important. Now, this is far from easy for
  technical personnels, technology can come across
  as latin and greek for non-technological people,
  likewise, communication can prove to be an 
  uphill task for technical professionals.
• And to say that communication is not an integral
  part of their day to day functioning would be a
  misnomer. During the course of their daily work
  routine, they are called upon to document ticket
  details, send emails back and forth, and generate
  reports.

• Irrespective of other skills, engineers find out
  sooner than later that writing is an important
  skill to possess. Quite often they are required
  to communicate oral reports, spoken skills come
  in handy as the person would not be found
  mumbling and fumbling with words.
• For some reason, a  person is unable to explain
  things clearly, or carry out documentation when
  it is direly required in critical circumstances.
  This could very well lead to endangering of vital
  client relationships, leading to mission critical
  projects slipping out of the hands, resulting in
  the incurring of the tremendous loss of revenue
  for the organization.
