Tech skills or soft skills... or both?

I stumbled across this article on ZDNet. And I kind of agreed with it. What do you think?

When I reflect back and look at the years when I was a developer, I distinctly remember the people with better people skills, and those people always had an edge in their career. Developers have as much need for soft skills as technical skills. Specially considering the global delivery model that Indian developers work in.

Which got some of us thinking... why does MSDN only offer technical content to developers. Why dont we offer soft skills learning to developers? We already have a lot of soft skills content which our developer employees use. We thought it would be great to share it with all developers worldwide.

So we recently launched MSDN Success Builder. A repository of excellent soft skills content on Leadership, Project Management, Communication, Team Dynamics and Professional & Personal growth.

Thanks are due to Eileen, who enabled this for us.

Hope you enjoy this. I'd love to hear from you on what you think about MSDN Success Builder and what else we could do to improve it.
