Peer leadership is more difficult because most your peers can see themselves in the position of leadership and imagine how they would do things differently/better. AS COL Lee Flemming said, you have to earn your peer's trust and respect to truly be successful and then you have to keep it.
Unlike peer leadership, organization leadership has a expected level of authority assigned to the position due to the pre-established hierarchy. When somebody enters the position, that person is instantly recognized as the person with the prescribed authority to lead the organization. There is not the requirement to earn trust and respect from those within the organization.

I commented on the levels of leadership on another thread. Let me find that tomorrow.
In a nutshell, positional leadership is the bottom most level of leadership. It is due solely to holding a position.

Repeated here:
For me, and what I teach in one of my businesses, leadership is not a position. If you are in a job and wear the title of "boss", that does not automatically make you a (good) leader. This is known as a Positional Leader; one who has leadership through a position.
The 5 Levels of Leadership are:
1. Position-People follow because they have to.
2. Permission-People follow because they want to.
3. Production-People follow because of what you have done for the organization.
4. People Development-People follow because of what you have done for them personally.
5. Pinnacle-People follow because of who you are and what you represent.

I like taking a step backwards and try to get people to understand the 4 S's of life before trying to jump into how to be a leader.
The 4 S's of life are:
1. Survival
2. Stability
3. Success
4. Significance
My transition from military life to civilian life was helped along by being in the active Reserves before getting out. I still had that stability of military regimen to help me mentally stay grounded. Trying to be a (good) civ I was starting all over again at Survival! After nearly 20 years of pure civ life, I am *mostly* a success. It is in this period of moving from Survival to Success that the first 4 levels of Leadership should be developed. If you want to move into a life of significance, you really need to up your own personal development plan and tackle the last 2 levels of leadership.
I think there are a lot more than 4 attributes of a successful leader. In John Maxwell's book, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, he covers, well, 21 qualities. In another book he covers The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
If you truly want to be a top tier leader, having a personal development plan that incorporates 15 minutes of studying, among other things, is essential. Everyday. Everyday study 15 minutes from a good self development book. However, personal development is another topic! ;)
