There are certain attributes synonymous  with  leadership which many who are organizational directors or managers may not posses; but   got promoted to portfolios of  responsibility e.g being a director, CEO etc on the basis of the many years of experience   working for an organization, or because someone established the organization themselves and despite not having the relevant leadership competencies find themselves having to run their organization.
