As you rise in leadership and managing people, you'll need to hone some specific communications skills.
Advocacy (for self and others), speaking up, having tough conversations, being direct, giving feedback, and establishing boundaries.

This has everything to do with understanding yourself, and recognizing the emotions that drive behaviors.
