Well, what do sex and leadership have in common? Previously, I listed nine critical leadership skills. No, sex was not among those skills, though it is critical for other reasons. One of the skills I noted is the ability/inclination to "Take action, risks and initiatives."
Leadership happens in the doing, not in the studying or reading. Like sex, you can read about leadership, listen to others talk about it, watch others doing it or even role play it. However, it doesn't really make sense until you give it a try yourself. If you don't take action and try it out, you will never master it. You have to take the initiative and try to do something (be a leader) to learn leadership.
Likewise, reading and hearing about it tends to make it seem easy: step one, step two, step three, etc. Once you try it for yourself, you find out how much more difficult it is and how complicated it is. Okay, I'm still talking about leadership here, but it does apply to sex as well.
Take action. Take a risk. Show some initiative. Get involved in something where you have to actually practice leadership. Volunteer for some project, committee, group, team, or volunteer opportunity. You get better at leadership the more you do it and the more diverse opportunities you take on.
