I'd rather have something like the auras in specific pet IOs, but automatically applied to the leader. Say, 5% res, 5% def to all, 5% damage, 5% tohit focused on the leader with about 40ft radius. The incentive would be the leader gets the 'leadership bonuses' for being the leader, and if teammates say near him, they benefit from his 'leadership skills' or something, haha.
Of course, if solo, then leadership auras don't apply.

The XP bonus might lead to some people moaning abotu wanting to have the star while you actually lead the team.
But I see what you're saying. I find it funny that people are often "I don't want to form the team" when leading the team 99% of the time really just means *select mission*
However, if you'd like a reward, I think the idea of giving a dayjob style bonus would be awesome!
[TEAMWORK] = 5 minute duration/60 minute recharge (not fixed...because I hate it when powers have fixed recharges...I like my +RCH bonuses to effect EVERYTHING)/+To Hit/+Dmg AOE aura!
After obtaining the 6th Mentoring badge, you begin working on obtaining this temp power. When obtained (after so long leading teams) you are given 24 charges (max) and can obtain another recharge (no more than 24) with every 1 hour of star leading time.
Will people cheat to obtain this by just standing around with a teammate in AP? Sure. But I think enough will get it by actual leadering.
