People who possess technical competence but get stuck at some point along their career paths do so because they:
1. Overlook the importance of people
2. Do not function effectively as part of a team
3. Fail to focus on image and communication
4. Possess limited emotional intelligence and likability
5. Have difficulty working with authority
6. Have too broad or too narrow a vision
7. Exhibit indifference to client or constituent needs
8. Work in isolation
