If you believe you're one of the gods, you're likely delusional. If you don't communicate well and hold that belief, you're certainly delusional.

Programming talent is useless if you can't communicate. Because your main job as a company grows is to grow the people around you, not cranking out more code. Communication overtakes pure coding skill the moment more than one person works on a project.

It's not about "trumping talent", it's about the fact that communication is part of the talents you need.
