First of all, you need to have a guidance “Coach".

Second, you need to develop your leadership skills by attending training sessions about Leadership Skills and how to enhance it.

We can use several methadolgy to enhance leadership skills: .
Reading more , enjoy with sucesseful leader stories, I suggest to read : Leadership skills (2nd edition, VIVA CAREER).
.Try to practice always ( u may use ROLE-PLAN TECHNIQUE)

I see that leadership is more enhanced by practice especially if you put the effort to learn from it. Training is required to grasp the theoritical background.

First read, learn, take training. Then practice it regularly.

Hai Mazen, To enhance ones leadership skills,  PRACTICE or TRAINING?  Both are very much in need, indeed! Modern work dynamics are changing every day. 
Lot of automation, software, procedure is introduced into the arena. 
JV, Outsourcing, Franchisee and Biz MoU are LEVERAGING more and more growth. 
As such, one should HONE leadership skill quite very often. 
Training is primary. 
To acquire the new skill one need to be trained in many segments of the gambit.
To explore the benefit of training, one needs to practice. 
Practice makes one perfect. 
Both training and practice, therefore, are complimentary to each other, as always!

Leadership skills as many other professional skills need practices and learning from any past deviation from target.

The best leadership relation is built up on transparency and anticipation of the team members to the project tasks with providing the advised tools.

I believe that strong aptitude towards learning is the basic requirement for enhancing leadership skills. Once we develop this aptitude then we can apply different methodologies to acquire related information and in the last we have to apply it continuously to practice. This is the sequence of enhancing your leadership skills. Anyone component that is missing will derail the entire phenomenon and you can't progress.

I like to add that  there are various leadership styles so, understanding your leadership style will help you better understand your strengths as well as areas that need some improvement. Once you honestly analyze yourself and define areas that need some work, you can begin looking for ways/strategies to improve your leadership abilities. For example, if you have the "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude then may be start portraying disagreement as simply a difference of opinion. If others feel attacked by you then your strategy would be may be to start pointing out areas of agreement before jumping on areas of disagreement to reduce defensivness, etc.

You first train to be a leader then practice it and then implement your leadership skills from the  knowledge you have acquired through trainings and practicals.and with time as practice makes perfect you will be a perfect leader

Regardless of age and experience, leadership can be strengthened and enhanced through learning, practice, feedback, role models, and coaching.
