On a similar topic of programmers needing to know non-programming skills, I'd suggest the book, "How To Be A Programmer"[1] by Robert Read. I read it about five years ago, and I liked it.

Talks about the essential technical skills -- managerial skills to manage a team of programmers, ethics of working as a programmer, and being part of a team. I remember loving the topics on how to talk to non-programmers and deal with difficult people.
