Analytics only takes you so far.

Once you get beyond middle management and into larger more senior roles, your ability to make decisions and lead people is more important than your ability to build a financial model or do detailed variance analysis. It becomes more important to learn how to tell a succinct and credible story amongst your peers and C-Level executives then it is to "know the numbers". Also, the ability to expand your skills into other operational areas of the business and be a business partner becomes critical.
