I agree with that list.

Issei's leadership also factors into his charisma. So the fact he inspires and drives people is part of what makes him a good leader. Also, like Rias and Sona, he seems willing to invest the time and effort it takes to develop a good team.

Issei's strategy and tactics I feel may develop into his "work-arounds" more than actual theoretical preparations. For example, the way he worked around the limits of their girls by giving them Dragonar armor.

My issue is that there needs to be more forethought going into these matches. For example, Issei needs to ask himself what his team's weaknesses are, and how could the enemy take advantage of that. For example, why didn't Issei at least suspect that Irina, as an angel, may might backfire them during Dulio's match? Especially with the hand effects. Why weren't counter-measures taken to insure Issei's wouldn't be caught up in an illusion of beautiful women, when its already known Dulio can cause illusions with his Zenith Tempest?

To me, if we are talking about Issei becoming a better leader, he needs to learn from these. So if someone like Rias or Sona attempt to use an illusion or something to distract him, he needs to "learn" from what happened with Dulio. That is how he becomes a better King. Otherwise, his loss was completely pointless.
