Maybe. I suppose it depends on the goal. From my own experience, generally the barrier for being productive at a job was soft skills, in that if a team member was suffering from an insufficient hard skill but had good people skills/personality traits I could teach them enough of the hard stuff they are missing so they can be productive, but the inverse has rarely proved true. Now, you can work around a team member's deficiencies in soft skills, but the difference is they aren't likely to pick them up.
