A director is a person that reads a script and interprets how they feel it should be translated from page to screen. A director must have certain qualities to ensure they can work well with a crew and get their creative vision across in the final product.
Important Qualities
An effective Communicator
A leader
Approachable
Patient
Confident (not ego driven)
Able to manage people, time and conflicts
Focused
Organized
Adaptable
Respectful
If you possess these qualities you are on your way to becoming a good director. I think it also helps to be friendly and nice to you crew because chances are they are willing to give you 110% if you treat them well as opposed to them putting in less effort if you treat them poorly.
