Up until recently, many people, myself included, thought that being kage made you the strongest of your village. Well I have a new conclusion: Being Kage isn't all about power. I think what makes a true Kage is their ability to protect the village and its people.
I have a few examples
Tsunade: We all know there are a few people who would wreck Tsunade hard (sexually pun fully intended), but she still made Hokage. Why? Because she has the ability to heal many people at once. While she may not be able to stop the physical village from being destroyed, she can stop many deaths
Kakashi: Now, while he isn't a Kage, he was on Kage level. I think so because one of the things that made him a candidate was he was he was well-liked and trusted by many. I think that was a powerful attribute to a Kage. What if disaster struck, like an attack. If people don't trust or like their Kage, they could potentially question their judgement or even betray their orders, which could lead to death and destruction of village.
Danzo: Now Danzo wasn't the most trusted guy, but he had another powrful attribute: Root. Root were at his palm, ready to obey orders. This was like one big weapon or defense against an attack.
Gaara: Now, we don't much about the Sand Village, for all we know, he may very well be their strongest shinobi. But I think the real reason he became Kage was because he could literally control the desert. The entire landscape around the village was his weapon, making attacks against the village somewhat difficult since he could defend anywhere. I also think Gaara was a redemption at trust. I think the people who elected him Kage thought like this: If the village can see past the murderer Gaara once was and trust him, then other villages can see that Suna could be trusted as they can overcome petty things, which would also play to their favor since they were the "weakest" village; they could use all the help they can get.
Mei: I think she's Kage due to something we learned with Haku: People with Kekkei Genkai in the Mist were executed. I think other nations were beginning to doubt there ties with the Mist. Think about it, if they were killing their OWN people because they were strong, what would they do with outsiders who were supposed to be allies? To show that Mist could be trusted, they made Mei Kage. Not only is she strong, she could also represent somerthing like Gaara: the Mist is able to overcome flaws and can be trusted, just like Suna; after all they just eleceted someone with TWO kekkei genkai as their LEADER
That's just my two cents
