Just check if the person follows the requirement mentioned in my article (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/5-most-impo...sider-sandip/). You will surely find a better Project Manger.

Yes, the skill to handle the 6 constraints (cost, time, scope, risk, quality and resource) is also essential and that need good communication skill and leadership skill.

This probably falls under communication, but I have to say responsiveness is a top quality. I have found that people really appreciate responsiveness. Ideally, you'd be responding with an answer, an artifact, a signed document...whatever is being requested, but people get a great sense of comfort just knowing that you have received the request and will give it attention.

You are very right Doug, clarifying more on your point for any stimulus a respondent acts in 2 ways reactive and responsive. A good Project Manager should be more responsive than reactive. Reactive action is display of low Emotional Quotient (EQ), a project manager needs good amount of EQ to handle, conflicts and close issues within time.

The Communication, Leadership, and ability to motivate employees are great.

I want to add time management skills. If you can't manage your time to be able to complete all of the necessary managerial tasks, then you will not be able to support your team.
