its difficult to quote in 3 lines, i would give my try like this -
1. 90% PM time go to Communication, as Nian Rasheed mentioned active listening, being effective and provide feedback, having positive body language and tone; and I will add stakeholder management.
2. Adopt to Change
3. PMI ethics ... Responsibility, Respect, Fairness and Honesty in whatever we do, this goes long way from being a Manager to a Leader

In this answer, I’m going to share the same advice with you:
1) Care for team member
No matter how technologically advanced we become, or how much automated the work processes become, the basic nature of humans will always remain the same. And, that basic nature involves empathy.
As a leader you’ve got to understand and share the feelings of your team members. After all, you are dealing with humans and not machines that you can manually feed the instructions and switch on until the outcome is delivered.
To get the best out of the team, care for individual team members. Do your best to ensure that they are both in the right physical as well as mental state to put their best efforts. A great way to do this is create an open culture, where the individuals are not hesitant to come and talk to you. Open the gates of communication, so that you can receive feedback and get to know what the team is going through at each step.
2) Appreciate and Celebrate
Never be short of words of praise when someone in your team achieves even a small feat. This could be anything - from reaching milestone earlier than planned to coming up with an innovative idea for the project.
This will not just boost the morale of that one team member, but will inspire others to follow their footsteps as well. After all, who does not want to get a toast from their boss in front of the entire team?
And, at the same time don’t forget that you as a leader will succeed only when the team does. So, there is no harm in celebrating their success and keep them motivated until you hit the success button!
3) Stay positive and smile
As a leader, positivity can be your biggest asset. You cannot expect a team to be charged up under the leadership of someone who is surrounded with negative. This is the reason why a leader should always keep an attitude of positivity.
The best way to do it - smile a lot! When the team members see their leader smiling even when things are not going the way they are supposed, it brings a sense of calmness amidst all the chaos. A few words of encouragement under such a situation won’t hurt either.
