It has been interesting over the years as you and I would see qualities in people -- for good or bad -- as we would notice if they have the intangibles or if they don't. They are important! More important than people realize.

Your writing reminds me of God's description of David's leadership qualities in Psalm 78:71-72..."71 From the care of the ewes with nursing lambs He brought him to shepherd Jacob His people,

and Israel His inheritance. 72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart,

And guided them with his skillful hands." It seems as if leadership is divided into the two (2) areas of "shepherded" and "guided". One originates in the "integrity of heart"...maybe that which you have so well described as "intangibles"... and the other originates in the "skillful hands" or learned / acquired leadership skills. I personally have found that while these are two very specific and quite different parts of leadership, that each part is dependent upon and totally interacts with the other. Therefore, a developing leader will grow in skills and as a person continually.
