E. Leaderships for Ethics or Ethics for Leadership

Leaders don't do different things, but they do things differently! It's here that one must demarcate the thin lining of self-actualization & self-realization for leaders.
Whether (s)he is practicing leadership for ethics or ethics for leadership.
In the former case it is self-propelled inner motivation which brings Value Based Development.
While in the later case it may be forced or compulsion from external forces where there is every likelihood for deviation and thus imbalanced or unethical development.
It is up to the leader to decide which way (s)he goes.

F. Creating and Mantaining a Culture of Continuous Improvement

Yes! The new age will not bring any possibility of less organizational pressure. To do the right thing, right, at the right time is not sufficient from now on, so the leadership challenger is directing the organization collaborators focused on clients, improving and innovating their activities.

On B. Learners are leaders

Learners are leaders. Delearning is also a learning process. Leaders must do "5S" of their mind. It should be kept free for receiving inputs from others. They should constantly change the process.

On C. Motivating the Subordinates

I think to be a good leader, you should also motivate your subordinates adequately for their positive input into the organization. In so doing it's easier for them to key into your vision and help you achieve it and more with little effort.

Personality Attribute of a Leader According to Islam

I think one of the important attributes of the leader is as said by Caliph Omer (the second Caliph of Islam) when he is asked about the conditions of a leader, he said: "if he is in the people and not their leader as if he was their leader and if as their leader he seems to be one of them".
I think the most important thing the leader should think about is how others see you acting according to your nature of humanity; let the others see you as a regular person.

G. One More Attribute of Leadership: Integrity

If there was just one attribute that a leader needed the most, then it would have been: integrity. Integrity is the basic tenet that a leader should have, regardless they are in politics, social, or corporate world.

Leadership Qualities: The 3 S

Selflessness, Sincerity, Simplicity are important qualities of a true leader.
Selflessness: A leader has to be selfless. Then only he/she can provide good leadership to others. There is a saying "Selfishness is a gift of nature, but selflessness is an accomplishment".
