Yeah, I agree with all of this.
Doing this well also requires building relationships with the team and trust. Recognizing little things like how people can be afraid of a project (and that fear can lead to spinning), and how to break things down/prioritize.
In software I think there are also system changes that can make individuals happier (often stuff described in books like the Phoenix project and working effectively with legacy code). A lot of which enable the things you described.
People are happy when they’re productive and goals are clear/make sense (and they have the space to focus on the work for them) and they get recognized for it.
