Leadership is not the most important. It is not also less important. It is like, "It is important but not to the extent that is it the most."
In our daily lives, with different events and different context, a person's leadership should be flexible and the approach you should implement should differ.
There's Authoritarian (Autocratic), where you decide what how the group should do things; Participative (Democratic), where you ask others their suggestions on what and how to do things; and Delegative (Laissez-Faire), where you let your team work things their own way with little or no guidance.
In other times, leadership is not needed. Sometimes, it's Management that is necessary.
If you already told your members what to do and how to do it, and they are not making it right or not making the way it is expected, Management is the appropriate approach.
It [Management] is the guiding of people to do things the right way. This makes leadership not the most important and not the less important, too.
They should go together to attain success with your goals.

This is assuming that leadership and management are mutually exclusive. They can very well be the same individual - but here are the distinct ways they COULD be. Management - Ultimately responsible (buck stops here). Management is responsible for each employee's contribution. They are held accountable for such. A Manager could very well be fired for one of his staff's incompetence. Leaders - Do not have the liability of responsibility. Management - Delegates tasks and assignments. Leaders - Motivate others to do more, with no threat of negative consequences. Management - Can use threat of negative consequences as a method of 'motivation' (leadership by fear) that if you don't do something, this will happen...(threats)

You may have to re-think your question. Human skills are NOT less important than conceptual and technical skills. In fact, if one would observe the needed skills as one goes up the leadership/management ladder, conceptual and technical skills vary. But Human skills remain constant.

Good Management realizes that their company is only as good as the staff they hire and when companies do not care about staffing as long as they can manipulate their staff into working hard and seeing production they often have more problems than they can handle.
