Why do american business emphasize leadership skills?

Can you answer uyrnaeb’s question about Leadership Development?:

I don’t know other countries, but why do all these businesses ask you about your leadership skills? What the hell is that anyway? I have seen lots of leaders and I don’t think they have “leadership” skills. I think this “leadership” idea has became a bubble. It forces people to boost about them selves and bullsheet in interviews. I had never been a leader, how the heal am I gona demonstrate leadership skills? I guess I have to lie. I think this emphasize on leadership, the big star thing has corrupted american business a bit? any idea?
