I'd say effective communication is more important than strong writing skills. I used to work with someone that could write 300 pages to communicate something that could have been communicated with a single sentence. I used to work with someone who wold span the team channel for hours to communicate something that he could take them time to properly craft a complete message. Prolixity and noise can happen on both written and spoken forms. Getting people who can balance all the ins and outs of communication is the key.
