Where's decisive/confident?
Without those the group isn't going anywhere without luck.

Having wisdom means having good judgement which goes hand in hand with decisiveness.

Someone who is passionate, inspirational and who practices with integrity (i.e. knowledge of self, honesty and maturity). Also, someone who possess a balance of competence and curiosity, as well as confidence and humility. This person(s) would identify themselves as an agent of change and is courageous, value-driven, innovative, believes in people, are lifelong learners, and can handle ambiguity, uncertainty and complexities. Furthermore, I'd like to believe that a great leader has the ability to empower others to engage in pursuing and achieving a collective goal and vision, such that both the leader and follower(s) influence one another to transform and evolve

Someone who have a vision, a goal and will take risks to achieve them with a strong sense of moral and more so lead by the example .

One who is charismatic can lead those who follow to do what they must. Being able to listen, take control, understand the value of those who follow, as well as recognise their opinions and input and consider it are qualities of a leader.
Somebody who does what he says he will do. Somebody who's a visionary and continually seeks progress by finding new and better practices. Somebody who is able to encourage others to act, as well as somebody who rewards his followers duly.

I believe a good leader must have good instinct, intuition and tact. He/she must know the moments when it is necessary to take charge and lead from the front, without coming off as some sort of dictator and instead coming off as an inspiration. Conversely, they need to know when to be a little more laid back and listen to other members' opinions. They also need to be aware when a group member needs attention, or if they need to be left alone to contemplate things. It's also necessary to be a good mediator and be somewhat diplomatic, as if there are any conflicts amongst the group, you can bet your bottom dollar that you'll be involved eventually, and a part of the reconciliation process rests on your shoulders. A lot of what I've said requires good instinct- not all of it can be taught. That's what I think.

Rules of leadership.
Know your subordinates strengths and weaknesses and how to utilize them.
Know the best way to motivate them. Some respond well to positive reinforcement while others respond best to getting their asses chewed like old bubblegum. They don't have to like either method so long as it makes them effective.
Be at least somewhat knowledgable on the subject as most of your team. Nobody likes having to explain things up the chain of command.
Communicate everything possible but do not micromanage.
Don't try to be a friend. Be the boss.
Remember to balance rewards so that they are well compensated but don't get a feeling of entitlement.
Most importantly never ask anyone to do something you aren't willing to do yourself.
