[-immortal-]

no you haven't

 

[Shisui Senju]

No but you have to be street smart, able and wise enough to use everyones skills and not drag the group down with your own

 

[Hypemaster]

Nope just have to be intelligent and strategic, such was the case for shikamaru

 

[Optimistic]

Shizune is fodder.

 

[Mangekyō1]

No, Shikamaru led squads where members were stronger than him, he was just the most fit person to lead. Leading a team takes more wit than strength. I'm not saying strength isn't important.

 

[HiddenSound]

Good leadership qualities, intelligent. Those are the requirements. Who would you rather have leading a squad, Shikamaru or Naruto? Exactly.

 

[Versatile jutsu]

naruto lead the war =D=D=D=D

 

[Prime Rib]

No its mostly someone who can plan and think ahead and is a good leader

 

[GrayParadise]

Nope.
Shikamaru lead the Sasuke Retrieval squad and we know he wasn't the strongest.

 

[NarutoSamaKama]

Highest rank I think

 

[NarutoSamaKama]

Like a Jounin would lead Chunnin
