Interpersonal skills are so important since people are complex and everyone works differently. Listening definitely is at the core of it. I took a class on a similiar subject about managing up and across once and it was one of the most beneficial classes I've ever taken. The professor was a retired executive and offered many of her own stories relating to the subject. One of her lessons was to always ask and clarify expectations from your boss and colleagues.

Here's another great article I ran across that talks about managing up and across.
