What are the most important skills to have?
I think being detail-oriented, organized, and persistent are key. Many things in this role can take a long time, so you can't wait for others to respond or assume someone else will handle it.
You have to take ownership and move everything forward. If someone isn't responding, you need to follow up. I think those are the top three qualities.
Additionally, an ability to have deeper conversations and form connections with people is very important. This will serve you well in many roles, not just this one, and it truly helps move things forward significantly.
