Not on its own, however, if it is a pattern of behaviour...
volunteering is a leadership quality
making the world a better place is a leadership quality
helping others in need is a leadership quality
doing tasks which lead to personal growth (grading papers) is a leadership quality.
Often, when I evaluate scholarship applications, I look for patterns of these tasks. Doing it one time, or once a semester...not what I want. Doing it often over time is a flag of a person who wants to contribute positively to others, themselves, and make the world a better place. I do invest scholarship dollars into those students, as I (how selfish) am looking for a return on my gift.
Leaders are driven to contribute to make things better, usually by enabling others or helping others, and growing in the task while doing it.
Is staying after school to help file papers and grade papers a leadership quality?
