1Co 12:28 And God placed some in the assembly: firstly, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then works of power; then gifts of healing, helps, governings, kinds of languages.

The discussion of the gifts of the spirit which come with the laying on of hands is outlined in verses 1-17. Beginning with vs 18 Paul discuses the various positions in the church which different people hold. The gift you refer to is in vs 28 which comes somewhat after the gifts of the Hold Soirit and falls into the catagory of a position in the church. Very commendable but not a Spriitual Gift as enumerated by Paul.
