A facet is seen as depicting a different aspect of something, or the face of something – including their presence or absence in the face. How do we talk about certain facet of something? For example despite the fact that we see one facet in something that is literally just one facet of it, we don’t think about facets in things – think of a diamond with many facets.

We often talk about facets of jobs, problems and own characters, but we don’t talk about the people themselves. Your sentence, nevertheless, sound strangely correct as well as definitely wrong.

Typically you use “of” when talking about facets. And I’ve not seen it commonly being used when referring to persons. The term is used when talking about inanimate objects or intangible ideas.

Why is a statement like “Decisiveness is an important part of leadership” perfectly natural and correct.

To me “leading skills are also a valued facet of a friend” is incorrect and just doesn’t sound in my ear.

When talking about people, we use things like “trait” and “virtue”.

What is leadership skill?

Does leadership skills are included in a friend’s training?

In both the suggestions I gave you above, you can substitute the preposition “in” for “of”

etc.
