A great leader is someone who is unafraid to make decisions -- even unpopular ones -- for the benefit of all.
A great leader needs to be able to see the big picture.
A great leader needs to be gracious.
A great leader needs to be woman enough/man enough to admit when she/he has made a mistake, and to face whatever consequences that arise as a result.
A great leader needs to be able to relate to everyone within the organization, even if it's a skanky you-know-what who you can't stand the sight of. 
That's all I can think of right now.

I like SisterMadly's ideas. I'd like to add this, from our Creed:
"...the responsibility to do my best in whatever I undertake, always remembering that leadership requires confidence tempered with humility, and courage blended with tolerance...."
