wow! well, despite what you're reading in these answers, there is no set of basics for a good leader! I've been a GREAT supervisor, manager, LEADER for most of my adult life, and been very successful at it!
My advice to you is to get a book called "Ready to Lead"..the name of the Author has escaped me, but it is a good STORY based book with great insight to be a leader Also, get a book called "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team"...also great insight...
If I had to give 1 thing that enables one to be a good leader, it would be communication coupled with respect...both are neccessary in a good leader.
