What makes someone a great leader? What makes a SM say "I will go to the depths of hell following said leader"?

I've seen Veterans and Service Members say this. Give a specific example of an action they took that went above and beyond their normal duties. Also, feel free to tag any leader that has impacted you in a positive way.

When I was offered PLDC, we were short staffed at my assignment. Work schedule was 12 hours a day 4 days on 4 days off. The Shift NCO from the opposite days offered to cover my shift while I was at PLDC, because at the time it was hard to get slots for. He worked 15 days straight, then added one more to give me time with my family on my return. He never held the fact that he did that for me over my head, nor expected anything more than a thank you. This proved to me that he was top notch among the SSG's I have met in my 21 years of service.
