The Capacity to Inspire

This is the essence of a Leader.

The ability to move people, to excite them, to incite their imagination, to identify their skills and to apply them effectively.  To create the context in which a team can be successful.  To celebrate victory, to establish a vision and set forth a pathway to attain it.  To showcase a destination, and to guide people on the journey.  To have supreme confidence in your abilities, and the conviction to apply them toward advancing the interests of the most demanding clients in the world.
