Great question! Listening is definitely very important, I also think they should be open minded and willing to change course or direction depending on the data that's available.
We tend to have a sunk cost fallacy when making decisions and a good characteristic should be the willingness to try something new or even start again if something isn't working.

@abadesi @niko_wallner probably, we can say that confidence is a quality of good team. I mean that it's hard to call a "team" those people who are not sure in each other and who are not reliable
Ability to listen and persuade, good self management and time management skills.
