Yeah, that is an absolutely essential skillset. If not that, you at least need to have an eye for other people's talents and how they could be best utilized, and know how to connect the dots for other people.

This is definitely something you can get a LOT better at with practice and study though!! You probably will never be ungodly talented, but you probably don't need to be either.

You have to sell yourself as an employee as well. For example I am able to sell my self to clients but can't get a real company to give me the time of day.
