Critical thinking is definitely important, but I would say that the most underrated skill is communication (spoken and written).
Definitely agree there! Communication is super underrated, especially with how difficult it can be to align people and teams across organizations.
Also communication: issues, blockers, requirements, expectations. Nothing works without these things and the ones you mentioned.
