slideware and powerpointing are essential daily tools. Other daily skill is adding extra people to never-ending email thread and replying to all with important notes such as "added folks", or "useful discussion" or "important email FYI". This is good in Q because it gives all those added and CC'd folks chance to add their own addition folks and notes of thanks and "gr8 info" and "will bring up in team meeting".
Microsoft products are ideal for burying any number of copies of company-critical information to be lost until the end of time as an outlook attachment.
Confluence impressed me. Replaces meetings as a collab tool.
Unless you are presenting at a conference, PowerPoint and emails are throwbacks to Qualcomm fitting in one building.
I always called that nonsense “PowerPoint Enginnering”.
people management skills are equally important !
All important of you are sr staff and higher
Look at our execs, pp skills are the reason they are still around despite so many failures
