- psychology
- team work
- understanding economics, business context
- establishing reinforcing and refining culture
- setting a strong example, inspiring through practical demonstration + theory/reasoning
- improving standards in every aspect of engineering
- championing the system, making it work, but also making it shine
- retaining the best people, raising their standards even further
- dealing with politics at an above average level (not necessarily at grand-master level)
- "wisdom" - humility, strong will, reasonable words, firm decisions, etc
I'd recommend reading about Admiral Rickover. If I had to recommend one book - "The never-ending challenge of Engineering".
If you have less time, read his essay "Doing a job": https://govleaders.org/rickover.htm
