There's no magic. Humility, patience, fairness, learn from mistakes and be a good listener. There's nothing you inherently lack that can't be acquired through experience. Don't let titles or status go to your head, because it's all temporary and meaningless anyhow. Perhaps find a mentor, either internally or externally, to help you grow into a respectable leader because the last thing you or any sane person wants to do is evolve into a PHB Lundberg who thinks they're a superior species. A sense of humor, appreciating people's good work and self-deprecation helps too.
