What qualities make for a good VP?

I think working with a good VP on your deals and projects can go a long way with making processes better, meanwhile having a lousy VP can make things frustrating.
 

From the VPs you’ve worked with, what skills and qualities have you noticed in the good ones? How are the best VPs more efficient than the others?
