I have gotten the impression that the more engineers are around, the less welcome are explanations of any kind unless there is someone with a really high reputation. Of course people like to listen to the management types of people but it's afterwards still ignored.

Probably this is not the case at every organisation but I see there is a strong force that makes people do things exactly the way they want and nothing else. To be honest, I think this behaviour is not at all limited to engineers...

But yeah, Soft skills, especially not caring only for oneself, are very helpful but they should be spread among the team.
