There is no golden rule.
There are few tips that are popping in my mind.
Others might want to add more tips: a) have good open communication with your team.
Explain to them the importance of meeting the timelines.
What might happen if the timelines are not met.
Make them feel important.
b) have a very good project plan with timelines, highlighting the items that are on critical path or might cause overall project delays.
Inform the the key team members related to those areas and ensure they understand how their performance will affect the overall project delivery c) Have mini milestones along the project, and reward your team everytime a mini milestone is reached, even simple things like taking them out for a fancy lunch.
d) Keep your radar active, sence roadblocks early on, and do your bit to remove the roadblocks rather then create fuss on your team members for not meeting deadlines.
Roadblocks can be external, or internal...

Erika, I partially agree with your views about being 'an approachable colleague' for your team.
Because the bottom line is: Every manager must maintain a balance - between formal and informal..
It is inevitable that every manager has to be the DECISION MAKER and/or the ESCALATION POINT.
So s/he has to adopt a neutral and balanced mind, to be able to manage such sensitive and crucial situations as and when they arise.
Bottom line is: Manager/Senior Manager is the Face of the organization for the customer(s) and the interface between their team(s) and management.
Wishing all a very happy Ramadan! Take care Thank you With regards Vineet Aggarwal

First of All, I have to Give them Confidence in their Skills, Every Architect has a strength point where I have to recognize and endorse, Put together all different skills to benefit the project. 

Second, Understand and respect every one's role in the Project, All Ideas are always welcome, especially in design process where team input is always better, however, role of each member has to be respected at the end. 

Finally, I always believe that gathering for minutes and taking breaks together , enhance the quality of relation between the team members and always for the project's success.

Ensure that each team member understands their role and responsibilities within the project.

Manage the tasks by breaking down goals into smaller, manageable tasks with deadlines

Establish open and transparent communication channels within the team for regular updates and to address conflicts or issues within the team promptly.

Acknowledge individual and team contributions and celebrate project milestones and successes to boost team morale.
