The March 2008 issue of Fast Company has an interesting little feature called "The Journal-ist," in which author James Kuczmarski offers abstracts on articles from four academic journals. Each of the articles focuses on a skill or trait of "top-notch" leaders in the 21st century. The four skills are curiosity, charisma, understanding the physiology of the brain (!), and ability to adapt.
You can read the article online at http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/123/the-journal-ist-in-the-lead.html.
And the librarian in me couldn't resist finding citations for the articles Kuczmarski references. So if you're interested in a bit more indepth reading on these topics, check out:

Melissa - I´m trying to get my hands on a copy of the "Leadership Harvard Style" article, and can´t seem to, even through my university´s databases. Any (free) suggestions?
