Hi,
Those skills are important for any professional not only IT as Suresh Mukhi mentioned but the biggest mistake made by managers when they are looking for them is trying to find all of them in one person. After more than 15 years professional career and more than 5 years management experience I'm quite sure that this person doesnt exists. So in my opinion the point is to try to build a team(IT or not it doesn't matter) which includes people having one or two of those skills plus technical knowledge.
