I think you are forgetting the results-oriented nature of leadership.

Leaders, first and foremost, have people that follow them. WHY people follow is open to a whole host of factors, not the least of which include intimidation, dependancy, fear and laziness. Some of the best leaders are also the biggest bullies.

Second, leaders have to lead. That is, they have to be the ones finally choosing the direction and starting off toward some goal. I’m sure you’re aware at how often people will simply follow anyone who is prepared to step up and lead.

Finally, a leader must win. One of the strongest influencers on whether people choose to follow is whether or not that leader is effective at achieving the group’s goals and “winning” whatever it is that they are leading their team to achieve. A “winning” leader can get away with a lot of bad actions and still have people striving their utmost to perform for them.
Without winning leaders may be nice people, but ultimately, no one follows them and they cease to be leaders.

The list you’ve enumerated above, seems to encourage people to become nice managers at the expense of becoming effective leaders.
