Which makes more sense?

a distinct skillset of oratory
a distinct skillset of abstract thinking about objectives and outcomes (strategy)
a distinct skillset of teaching
a distinct skillset of managing dialogue
a distinct skillset of coordinating people in real time
a distinct skillset of mediating and resolving disputes between group members

Leadership, which is some mishmash of all or any or none of the above, we say it's a skill but there are no good tests or even any quantitative metrics of it

I can say for certain that none of the leadership things I've been roped into have been about any of the things you listed under #1.

Maybe "abstract thinking about objectives and outcomes" but that appears to be more, like, a thing that justifies "leaders" existing, rather than something they actually do. If I start actually talking about that sort of thing with leaders they get weird about it.
