I would like to add Calmness and Tranquility as qualities that I have seen great leaders possess. These two qualities, in my opinion doesn't require any sill or talent and one needs to possess a high level of emotional intelligence to be able to demonstrate calmness and tranquility when others are going haywire.

You can only get to know the “real” problems of your customers if you spend quality time with them to build a relationship.

Sad but true…real talent won’t be attracted to, or remain engaged with leaders who operate on fear-based tactics. If your organization is not thriving and growing, then the first thing that should occur is a long look in the mirror…Begin your triage by first evaluating your leadership qualities or the lack thereof.
