Listening, enabler, servant leader, supportive. There's a lot about emotional intelligence and being organised that sometimes gets overlooked. You need to be a leader as much as being a team member.

Emily, yes.
To be a good leader you have to be a good follower first.
Emotional Intelligence and Empathy as a component of it is the core capability to permanently develop.

I like what others have posted so far. I would add honesty, consistency, organization, the ability to be aware and involved in multiple activities at once, and the ability to clearly communicate to others. Saving Changes...

Constant learning. Every team member has unique requirements. Understanding how to motivate those to do something they may otherwise not want to do is important. A PM's plan is only as successful as the people that put that plan to action. Take care of your people and they usually take care of you. That does mean understanding some are further in their professional career and just need to be left alone while others are newer and need constant guidance and feedback. Read your team and succeed.

Communication skills are extremely important.
Also don’t ignore items that deserve your attention and hope they go away, take action. If you ignore a small problem it usually becomes a larger problem. If you ignore a small opportunity it rarely becomes a larger opportunity. Saving Changes...
1. Focus - model the distraction-free behavior you expect from your team!
2. Be transparent - avoid adding to the gossip ever present!
3. Embrace the project's business case or expected outcomes so that you see all decisions framed with that lens
