If you want to become a leader the first step is to come out of your shell. Get to know everyone in your group and interact. You're probably wondering why interact is in bold, it's in bold because interaction lets others be aware of your presence and allows you to learn about everyone in your group. Knowing how everyone ticks is good knowledge to keep because when you become a leader your decisions and their outcomes depend on how others respond to your decisions.

Do not be afraid to talk to your commander or group leader. Your commander's job isn't to strike fear into their group, their job is to motivate their group to get the job done and make sure they're alright in the process. Your commander should listen to you even if it's friendly banter, it doesn't always have to be about business (but that'll be touched upon in another episode if I remember). Being associated with your commander and any co-leaders is important if you hope to move up.

Summary:

-Do not be afraid to speak to your fellow group mates or your leader(s).

-Communicating with others lets them know you exist and that you CARE.

-Knowing how everyone ticks is a good way to know to handle a certain situation.
