Communication and stakeholder management are really key with the understanding that stakeholder management must broadly encompass the development of a team which shares a solid project vision from the start. This unified understanding and approach allow for greater project cohesion as well as accountability down the road. Saving Changes...

@Valentin Dinu: Thanks for posting a question which is very critical for project success!
There are already some excellent answers here.
Adding my two cents:
1. Leadership, which includes the ability to inspire and motivate a team, plus excellent communication, empathy, negotation skills, etc. Most importantly, ethical behavior and professional conduct. My co-author Sripriya and I dedicated an entire chapter to this topic in our recent global project solutions book, "Say YES to Project Success."
A set of excellent ethics resources is available at http://www.pmi.org/ethics 2. Technical Skills: While it is not a must for a PM to be an Subject Matter Expert (SME) in his line, a solid understanding of the fundamentals certainly helps. This will make sure that you can broadly understand and make decision on SME recommendations.
3. Business and Strategic Skills: To achieve project success, you need to understand the "big picture" of your project and the benefits it needs to deliver to your organization and/or client.
If you put these together, you can see that it fits in nicely with PMI's Talent Triangle! Saving Changes...
