What I've learned about being a leader is that sometimes you can't always be seen as the hero. Lord knows I tried that approach including being the villain, mentor and even the diplomat. Quite honestly truth is a good leader has to be all these roles.
A hero is a role model, someone you look up to. Yet there are people that want to take advantage of good natured hearts. The villain knows how calculate, stay focused and even be a few steps ahead but tends to underestimate their opponent. Mentor figures have benchmark experience giving advice to others. For the diplomat needs to be a friend to everyone.
Somewhere in the mix you also need to have build a reputation that garners up respect from your peers. For me it was having some of them knowing I was creating 'fear' if crossed the wrong way. Everything that I learned from experience is that not everything is going to be black and white, being an alpha dog isn't always necessary and you can't allow people walk all over you when trying diplomacy among your peers.
But in the end of everything that I've learned from being a leader including making sure not underestimate someone who will always question your judgement, make them into an example of why you should lead. Set aside the lack of experience for a moment, always show confidence. This is how I l learned to become a leader.
My experiences of how to lead was nothing more but trail and error. In the end, the best advice is learn from your own mistakes while drawing strength from believing in yourself. As a leader the only thing you can trust is yourself with everything you do. When in doubt, listen to your heart and everything will somehow eventually fall into place. Remember it was Fate that chose the ones meant to create order from chaos, these are the ones meant to lead.
