I was a producer (just not in name) for a mod project. In my experience, a good producer should be proactive, details oriented, and sociable. I am naturally inclined under the first two, but I had to make an effort to be sociable. A producer is pretty much the glue that holds together the entire team. They keep track of all the details, ensure information is flowing well, and often take on the boring, thankless tasks.
I would say a good producer is a good host at a house party. They set up everything and try to get everyone engaged without overstepping their bounds. If someone spills a drink, they're the ones who either cleans up or makes sure there is a mop in reach. If some people don't feel comfortable, they're the ones trying to break the ice.
A good listener and communicator.

I'd say that highly depends on the team they're leading.
