Different styles of leadership are more effective at different times for different organizations.
An understanding of one's own strengths and weaknesses, a questioning touchstone in what needs to be done, dependable personal integrity and trustworthiness, and an active acknowledgment of others who have strengths in different areas are all required for a thriving leadership.
These qualities are the building blocks, the very foundations, upon which to develop other leadership attributes and competencies such as strategy and execution, flexibility, openness to change, long-range planning, insightful decision-making, innovation, ethics, financial acumen, negotiation, efficiency, talent retention, motivating others, cross-departmental knowledge, and so on.
Effective leaders will be aware of and apply their strengths, as well as utilize the strengths of others in different areas.
You've then gone beyond asking "what needs to be done?" into an efficient and respectful streamlining of how it gets done.
