Good answer and good first post.
Patience, understanding, and ability to go at a pace that suits the everyone and ensuring everyone has a role. (even if that is somebody making sure the tea, coffees and biccies are ready for everyone) Willing to take the time to explain and having a good overall knowedge of both archaeology and of the local area and the archaeology/history there. Being able to have contacts and to know when and where to stop and have a clear idea of the aims. Use the skills from commercial and not keep the pushing requirements. Know that the local idea of their past may not match the reality and be able to cope with it. Be open to all and help join all ages and all abilities together .. to spot talent and support it and still keep positive when all is going wrong. HEalth and Safety.. be strict but not a fascist. !

What about others...?
