To the OP

- Excellent communication skills as in clearly stating your intentions and being a good listener
- Able to work effectively with a diverse range of people from different walks of life
- Ability to compromise as in knowing when to do things by the book, and when to do things as they come
- Having the appropriate skills for the job (e.g. if your an IT project leader you have strong ability to work with computers)
- Negotiation skills as in properly dealing with irresponsive team members
