Devoted to Leadership 
Great list! In my opinion, I would add that great leaders also:
– Show love and compassion for things that matter the most to them.
– Have an unwavering confidence that is larger than themselves, and rely on that supernatural strength to persevere through the toughest of circumstances towards success.
– Stand strong on their convictions, but are willing to make sacrifices and compromise where necessary to achieve a favorable outcome.
