I wasn't sure I had any you hadn't mentioned, but as I thought about it, I realized there area few.
Follow Through - Do what you say you'll do. If you can't/don't have time, say no. Don't say yes and then fail to meet the obligation.
I'd second the communication value, especially when the aforementioned follow through isn't going to happen. When a team member communicates to me that they won't be able to do a task, it makes my life much easier than when I'm counting on it and it doesn't get done.
Strive for Excellence - We all fail. We all mess things up, but keep striving to do things well. Don't settle.
Model - Don't just tell others how to do something. Do it yourself. I think leaders have much more credibility when they have experience at the things they're asking of others.

I realized a while ago that I needed more focus in my life. I spent a lot of time building and running a web business during the time immediately preceding and following my transition from a political job into ministry. After a while I realized that I had to give something up. I couldn't do everything I wanted to do well. If I tried to be a businessman too, my ministry would suffer. So, I made the difficult decision to stop doing something I enjoy in order to focus on my calling, so that I could give it the time, energy, and attention it deserves.
