There are many leadership styles. You can learn being second in command

Well, first off, stop listening to your friends' bullshit unless it's coming from a genuine place. (ie. anon, we think your behavior is harmful because of X.) A good leader doesn't let someone undermine his own confidence on a regular basis.

Being relaxed and flexible IS a leadership trait. Remember, the key to leadership is having people want to work for you, not afraid of you. When you can be the head of a happy and productive team that sees their work being recognized and used, you're achieving a lot.

Don't let your desire to be on top be the reason you aren't. People can see through the facade.

wanting to be a leader for the sake of being a leader is like wanting to be a youtuber.

unless you have some actual plan, some actual brand, some actual reason, its just vapid stupidity and no ones going to take you seriously. wanting to just 'be a leader' in nothing in particular is akin to going up to strangers and saying 'IM THE BOSS LISTEN TO ME'. its childish.

if you want to be a leader in something you do, do something. thats all it takes. just do something and dont compromise on having that final say.

make a movie, start a charity, do SOMETHING. you have to have something to be in charge of, otherwise you arent asking how to be a leader you're just asking how to be bossy.

Being a Leader comes with rising up to a situation. It's a selfless role and in order to lead you must believe in yourself and your team.

"being a leader" as in being an assertive asshole with no regards for his team is not being a leader, it's a being a controlling freak

This is very good advice, it's relieving to hear because that's how I've been acting all my life (only rising up to leadership when I need to rather than always trying to lead). The whole time I thought I was doing it wrong, but it looks like I've been on the right path. Thanks.

yes and no. its not that you rise up when needed but you rise up when the opportunity presents its self. thinking of your self as the 'leader' of say, your group of friends just becomes childish and pretentious.

you dont need to wait for the right moment to rise up, because thats essentially just when no one else volunteers. you can rise up anytime a leader is needed at all. not just when everyone else says no.

but yeah what you say in your OP sounds like you are looking to be more assertive which is its own thing. if you want to be more assertive its as simple as asserting your self, making rules, and executing the consequences if people break them.
