Honestly if you can't even program, why do you even bother being the programming leader? That is different for team leaders, I believe that they should be able to coordinate and have a great personality while having wisdom. The leader should know when to take the risk or be more conservative. They should have the ability to synchronize the team's process and put more emphasis on the lacking divisions. Lastly I believe the leader needs to be very respectful and never cocky, but always confident about the team.

Very well put. I really think a leader must be open minded and able to see both sides of an issue. I think that they should be able to unite a team behind a common goal. I personally believe that being a leader is something you are born with, and weather you develop you skills in that area is up to you.
