A team lead should be always technically and functinally sound enough along with people management... He should be good enough to answer or solve any question asked by the team member.. in fact TL should create such an environment with the team members like the team members should have a feel that they will get the exact solution when they approach their team lead for any sort of question that they come across...

A team lead should have these following quality:

1- A lead should always be calm and compose. No non-sense talk.
2- Diplomatic and benevolent to all the team members. Gain the respect from team members.
3- Always lead from front while tackling a issue raised. No blame-game.
4- Show to the team members that u are always there as a backup.
5- Identify the limitation of the team members and help them in gaining confidence while performing the task.
6- Distribute the task according to their capability.
7- Give team members their time and space but keep them on tap about their responsibility. 
8- Be generous on their personal needs. Give them leaves but again check their status.
9- Perform team building activities. Even a team lunch is a great activities. But during such team outing, no talk about work, just chill out.
10 - Nominate your team members for training which usually every organization supports which in turn help them in improve in their career later on.

These are some of the point I keep in mind while leading a team. I may looks a bit liberal but it does work in keeping the team performing.

A team leader should possess calmness with right attitude maintain friendship rather than being bossy with his/her team members. He should make a practice to record for himself about the team performance so that during performance appraisal he will be at ease to express and portray his team in better way.
