Are there personality Traits that make up a Successful Program Manager?

Some believe that there are a few natural tendencies and/or behaviors that may be common in successful program managers at every level. (These same traits are evident before one actually becomes a program manager).

So, is this to suggest that all successful program managers must have the following common traits to be successful... No. So, what is the difference between a good enough program manager versus a great program manager?  This is sometimes referred to as the X factor of "project management"...

Traits / Examples

1. "Do we have a "plan"?

   Great program managers will always evaluate if there is a solid plan (methodology aside) in place before digging to deep into their projects. This applies to the beginning of a new initiative or inheriting a program in jeopardy mid-stream.  Program managers must always be willing to challenge the "plan of record", charter and lead the development of a workable plan. 

2. "If I were designing that "Solution", I would..."

   Great program managers have a tendency to enjoy creativity, design, and problem solving as part of their daily lives. Knowing where to help versus get in the way is a key element to success with this trait.

3. "Here's where we should go for dinner"

   Great program managers are natural leaders even outside of the workplace.  Usually,you can spot this natural tendency because he/she is trying to facilitate consensus or make suggestions.  Even when this is uncertainty and you're not the best qualified to answer for the group, great program managers are naturally driven to move things forward.

4. "Here's what I think ..."

   Great program managers like to collaborate, facilitate discussion, and collect alternate data or differing point of views. They tend to not be afraid of opposing ideas. They are willing to put their ideas forward and take risks for feedback. 
   

Do you see yourself in any of these examples, do you have some other examples that suggest a tendency toward this discipline?
