The authors of that book also highlight the importance of communication for data scientists. It's not just your company-client communication that matters. Speaking from experience, I think interdisciplinary communication within a company is just as important if not more. There's an ignorance of what data can actually reveal in business. How many business actually use business intelligence tools? A while ago I talked to someone from one of the biggest ISPs in the country. They have 15,000 employees, yet only one person was looking into doing serious BI / geodata analysis.
