I can say for certain that none of the leadership things I've been roped into have been about any of the things you listed under #1.
Maybe "abstract thinking about objectives and outcomes" but that appears to be more, like, a thing that justifies "leaders" existing, rather than something they actually do. If I start actually talking about that sort of thing with leaders they get weird about it.
To back you up, Owl, most of these "leadership" programs are grifts; something along the line of "pay us money so you can think about what it would be like to be in charge," with a light dash of networking. The USian concept of leadership seems to start and end at having enough money and influence to own a business or organization.
