The U.S. Navy recently established a "Navy Leadership and Ethics Center" at the Naval War College that has some material that might be useful (e.g. a concise 'wheelbook' of desired attributes). The wheelbook is too short to be anything more than a quick distillation though.
To be honest I'm not sure the Navy has anything much more directive in nature about leadership. We have a letter from the last CNO called the "Charge of Command" which all new COs are required to read. But our tradition is that leadership is something too personal to a Sailor (officer or enlisted) to turn into a cookbook recipe or a procedure where we say "follow these steps and we'll assume you must be a good leader".
We also have a little bit of guidance from Navy Regulations (the overarching general regulations for the Navy and Marine Corps). E.g. Chapter 8 talks about what we expect of our commanding officers and their subordinates.
> "0802.4 The commanding officer and his or her subordinates shall exercise leadership through personal example, moral responsibility and judicious attention to the welfare of persons under their control or supervision. Such leadership shall be exercised in order to achieve a positive, dominant influence on the performance of persons in the Department of the Navy."
So leadership is something we care about, something we write and read about and all of that would be useful in discovering what we implicitly want in our leaders. But I think it would be better to read about what we think good leadership is than to look for an official Navy list.
