IMO, the person who demonstrates greater leadership skills is the one who identifies general guiding principals on an issue, recognizes that there are others with greater expertise and steps back to let those persons work out the details., until such time that their presence is needed.
The more political person is the one who feels the need to insert himself into the discussion at the most basic level in order to present himself as a critical "player" in the game.
