A true leader should be able to:

**Solve problems**. Try to look around, listen to your surroundings. Think about how you can help them. Try to solve certain problems of a particular person or group of people. This will be your first step on the road to leadership.
**Think bigger**. When you start to solve the problem, you will notice that often small problems are symptoms of some one more significant problem. Therefore, it is important to provide a complete picture of what is happening already at the initial stage. After all, alone to solve something large is very difficult. It is much easier to find the right decision in the group. And without a leader, there's no way to do it.

**Be active**. In the event that in your mind certain ideas on forecasting a particular issue have matured, then one should not sit idle in anticipation of an unfavorable situation. The most correct will be if you try to take measures to prevent them. In the event that, for a number of reasons, after all, you can not prevent them, then you can at least prepare. This is the main difference of the leader. It is much more important not only to respond well to different situations, but to take effective measures to prevent them.
**Do not be afraid**. In order to influence people and situations, and at the same time to solve more serious problems, you will be compelled not only to make decisions, but also to assume all responsibility for what happened. However, you should remember that your decisions will affect those who gave you this power. It's a responsibility, but it's also an honor! If things go badly, people will consider first of all that this is your fault (and it does not matter at all whether this is really so).
And if you are not ready to take responsibility for your decisions, if you are overcome by indecisiveness and insecurity, it is better to resign from the leadership. And it does not matter whether they were formal or informal.

And finally, I want to say the following. This leadership is like a forest fire. You must think of yourself as the starting point in a chain reaction. It is your first step should be its beginning and everything that happens afterwards will continue without any effort on your part.
