That sounds like a nice committee member. You're missing a few characteristics:
What about initiative? Isn't a leader someone who, in the absence of a plan or clear direction, you know, leads?
A closely related trait is decisiveness. While a leader isn't blindly pig-headed, he doesn't waffle.
A leader is also loyal (in general) both to his subordinates and superiors. A leader will defend a subordinate to a superior, and vice versa, but will gracefully
