He/she has to :

be able to separate a player’s personal quirks from their character’s

present the story in a way that gives the players options but does
not require them to attempt to write the story for the DM.

be able to allow roleplaying of the personality aspects of the characters
without letting them idividually run the game (or take it over)

realize that it is a game for entertainment purposes,
and make it fun for ALL involved ;)

not take any roleplaying of characters as personal insults
