Wow, this is really great! Soft Skills 201 could be a book unto itself, nice to see this stuff being discussed.

In general, I think the soft skills sections should get a lot more promotion (it's buried so far down the sidebar I had to scroll!). The technical stuff is already well-documented elsewhere, but nobody ever told me how important being politically savvy was in this niche until I had already blown both feet off several times.
