1) Leadership and management skills
2) Customer facing and excellent communication skills
3) Good judgement and ability to make decisions based on little information

Insights to develop expertise
1) Become a product manager first, get as much experience as you can
2) Show progression in your job taking on larger projects
3) Read stuff as much as you can about product management - start with my blog at productmanagementtips.com (yes, that is a shameless plug :-))
4) Develop your communication skills by making sure you can present to technical and non-technical audiences
5) Build your network by joining local product management associations.
