Fortunately, my supervisor is a nice guy, but I've heard horror stories of managers belittling their employees - abusement with words. Sadly, there are many supervisors deficient of the necessary skills / abilities needed to be successful leaders. Yet, they keep on climbing up the ladder (receiving additional promotions) partly because they know how to "play the game" by associating with the important / right people, which make them part of the U.S. popular term, "good ol' boys".

However, there are true leaders out there with all the 7 characteristics you've described above, but a rarity in my opinion.
