What do you believe are the necessary qualities to have in a good leader?

Adherence to logic. Wisdom and empathy are valuable, but a leader must always place reason over emotion, to ameliorate the fragility of a human mind.

The greatest weakness of humanity is their inability to learn from what has come before. A leader should not fall prey to that.

Do you believe there is any room for emotion at all if one hopes to lead well? Rationality in the face of a crisis is to be expected, but, in your view, should emotion be considered at all, even if to a lesser extent than reason?

Emotion is an indispensable part of humanity. A leader of humans must consider their emotional responses to actions and factor that logically into planning.

To fully lead without emotion is impossible if the leader is of the same type of being. In an ideal world, humanity would be guided by an entity that is not subjected to the failings of emotion at all. But we rarely find ideal worlds in this sort of plane.

You do not believe mortals are truly fit to rule themselves?

How much margin of error will you give for their mistakes? When do they become unfit to rule?
