While teaching my project management class last evening that very question came up in the discussion. i suggested to the students that one of the key characteristics of the project manager is to assign responsibility and then ensure that the assigned team member works the problem to completion. One of the Ken Blanchard books years back, if my memory is correct, involved 'keeping the monkey off your back'. The manager who assigns a task, and then listens to sad tales from the team member, and works the task for them, does the team member no good, nor does it help the manager do the work they are supposed to be doing.
That leads into micro-managing--something every project manager should carefully avoid.. Saving Changes...

My father used to tell me "you have two ears and one mouth, so do twice as much listening as you do talking. But when you do speak make it worth listening to." PM and PgMP need to do a lot of listening to ensure that they "hear" the nuances of ground truth that is being conveyed through the fog of information overload that they have to manage. Without having this ability, all the other aspects of effective leadership will be swamped by the ever growing frustrations associated with project or program complexities and demands.
