- Knowing Your Customers.
Understand their priorities, what they are saying, and more importantly, what they aren't.

Be able to support your opinions with sound reasoning grounded in the business.
- Systems Thinker.

- Prioritization.
There will be a constant flow of work, both tactical and strategic.
Determine what gets done first and why, while managing a plan for what to do with everything else.
- Building relationships.

- Communicating.

- Resourcefulness.
If you don't know it, that's ok.
But you should know where to go for the answer or how to find out.
- Bias for Action and dealing with ambiguity.
Sometimes it is not clear how we are going to get there.
Can you help carve a path? How fast can you do it? What are the tradeoffs? Take risks and be willing to try new things, fail fast and iterate.
