What skill or quality do you believe is essential for success in your field today?

I believe that vision and determination are essential for success today. It starts with understanding the purpose and goals for a given project. Becoming tenacious in achieving the big picture, while implementing the fine details, lays the foundation for executing a project at a high level. Understand your skill set and how you can best serve the project, either directly or by connecting and motivating others to join forces and work towards common goals. Lastly, have an unrelenting drive to serve the client to the best of your ability, while motivating the team to do the same.
