The problem with you statement is: what does mean "good"? "Good" must be defined, at least, at the context of the organization. "Good" is a subjective matter. Saving Changes...

I second all the excellent suggestions above, and add having a service orientation and freedom from self-referential thoughts - "It's amazing what one can accomplish if he doesn't care who gets the credit." I think it's important for PM's to be compassionate, respecting that all team performers want nothing other than to contribute successfully, and always be ready to help team members see how their efforts benefit others and the program.

The first ones that jump to mind are our project management ethical values; responsibility, respect, honesty and fairness. Walking the talk and exhibiting behaviours that are congruent with our values, ability to learn from others and one's mistakes, ability to coach, mentor, motivate, recognise and reward, ability to communicate with all levels within the hierarchy and ability to self-reflect, learn and grow. A balance between taking care of people, while achieving the outcomes and following the processes! Saving Changes...

They are a lot, but the most important as my opinion are following:
1) work with the team and give them a chance to prove what they have;
2) Respect the team as per PMI's habits and ethics;
3) He should follow well the resource management plan;
4) He should have skills like communication, leadership, problem solving...etc;
5) He should have active listening to all everyone to discuss, find out the root cause, underline the causes and prevent happening in the future, and he should undersatandable in evey issue.
And so on.... Saving Changes...

Mahalmadane,
I recommend to look at the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
Based on the four human values of respect, responsibility, honesty and fairness, a set of behaviors (conduct) were described by volunteers about 12 years ago. Some of them are considered mandatory and others are aspirational. All of them should guide a project manager in his or her decision making.
BTW - there are some more globally accepted human values, as researched by Kidder, and they include in addition to the above mentioned humility, community, compassion and freedom. Saving Changes...
