Boy, I think more than anything it's the ability to relate to people. It's a hard road for folks who have a lot of intelligence and education but just can't quite lock in the approval of their peers. You need to be able to understand people and they need to understand you and respect who you are. You need to understand the human aspect of an organization... a lot of CEO's are not technically brilliant at all, but they know people, and they know how to surround themselves with folks who do know the technical ins and outs and will provide them with trustworthy guidance. At the early phases of one's career, the mark of the future successful person is the one who everyone respects, and who is considered reliable.in their career role and as a friend. Friendly, unoffensive, universally appraling.
People who have the social end but not really the competence can get by with the help of others, to an extent, but eventually they will hit a wall where they've gone as far as they can strictly on their social appeal. People with ability but minimal social appeal have a harder road, and may struggle to find a place in the workworld where they're accepted. For people who have always been intelligent but with marginal popularity, the best thing to do is to pursue a strictly technical career like science, engineering, academia, etc. And even then, personality and politics will still come into play unless they're really that brilliant and irreplaceable.
Once someone passes the personality test and shows that they've got brains, success depends on creativity and innovation. The person who can steer their organization or business or idea or band or whatever it is, to a position of great new success. I think that's the ultimate. Then after that, it's a question of ethics and integrity as to whether they can stay successful or lose it all to a breach of faith.
Of course, not everyone is cut out for "making it to the top" but that's ok. As long as you have enough personality and intelligence to stay in the game, you'll make a living, and compared to a lot of the world, there's no reason to consider that as being unsuccessful.
Good luck!

Complete a task or be able to multi-task. First graduate and show society you can finish what you started.
