Ill give a list of some things that I think are most important in being considered a quality official.
1. Appearance----meaning Posture, you can sell alot with a look of confidence.
2. Sharp Mechanics-------- be crisp, but dont over officiate. Dont draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
3. Judgement------ being consistent. See it happen then make the call. One of the greatest philosophies that I have learned over time.
4. Communication-----being aware of whats going on, clock, fouls, relaying messages amongst other officials.
5. Game mangagement------interaction with other officials and score keeper and timer. They are your best friends at the time, be their best friend as well.
Feel free, to add more.
