Few project managers fails because they try a one-size-fits-all approach, they need to do different things, tailoring is a big key here, they need to distinguish between proactive and reactive actions, between extensive and minimum adjustment of tools and techniques and applying organization's culture, communicating with all stakeholders to ensure desired level of effectiveness to heads off problems before they occur.
Understanding the importance of accomplishing the scheduled tasks and solve urgent issues before they became emergencies.
That can be achieved by making several adjustment to the leverage of planning on team members, materials, through out the stages of the project with continuous verification.

Please feel free to add your other points.

An important factor that feeds into what you've said is having a cohesive team or sub-teams. One(s) that understand and genuinely shares the desire to have a successful project. When you have difficult or non-cohesive teams or team members, it hinders the productivity and lowers morale, thus decreasing team and organizational performance.

In my experience PM should share relevant information promptly. I would try my best to share meaningful updates and developments to my team members in a timely manner. If I no longer could keep a promise, I would tell my team as soon as possible.

For me it is two basic skills - listening and leading. If you listen well you can choose when and what to do in order to provide effective leadership.
