Person needs to have: - understanding the business area that software is developing for.
- solving conflicts between team members.
- knowing capabilities for each team members.
- knowing technology what is possible and what is not.
I know people that became leaders in4 years, but you need to have personality and quality added to experience to become one.

In my opinion, it does not depend on number of years.
There are lot of factors that contribute to a team lead;1.
Are you a people person?,2.
Are you a patient, logical and analytical thinker?,3.
Do you have a good understanding of technologies mix?,4.
Can you articulate an enterprise scale application? And many more……

That depend on, whether the team leader a college graduate or not.
in other word education qualifications are important in addition, number of hours in team leads the person put.
Large scale projects will qualify a person rapidly and effectively, also size of the company working for and number of the team members in these projects.
