Actually, I think he has several that are mentioned.
1. His emancipated attitude to women, noted above. His acceptance of Galadriel's talents, and his chiding of Boromir for ignoring old wives' tales...
2. Evident military ability seen in his three defences of Lorien and subsequent conquest of Dol Guldur.
3. Ability and popularity as a ruler. He stayed on to rule a contented Rivendell without his wife, and apparently lasted a good long time (fanfic authors even like to say he left in the Seventh Age...)
