1) Communication: Both verbal and written, both input and output, and both logical and emotion-driven.
2) Proactiveness: Seeing issues before they happen, and acting on the right ones when needed.
3) Ask for and giving feedback: Both formal coaching, and informally with peers.
5) Starting with the End in Mind: Understanding why things are being done, and doing things with the end customer in mind.
6) Planning and Estimation: Much harder than it appears
7) Bias in Decision Making: Understanding the flaws in how people think (recency bias, overconfidence, anchoring, etc) and adjusting decision processes to handle them.
1-5 is mostly by practice. There are books that can provide guidance on 6 & 7, though there it's very much practice too.
It's also important to have good mentors every time one steps up in ability.
