> Being exceptional in cybersecurity is a pretty good indicator that someone will be successful in other fields.
I am not so certain about this. In particular being exceptional in cybersecurity does not make you good at playing political games or having the traits that a lot of bosses want from employees (I will attempt to avoid starting a discussion whether I consider such traits to be good or bad).
Exceptional includes soft skills too.
1. You re-defined the scope of what it means to be exceptional in cybersecurity.
2. One example of a trait that many bosses desire, but is not a social skill per se is docility.
If a doctor excels at health science but is so terrible at client communication that their patients do not understand or follow medical advice and instructions, are they a good doctor?
