Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have been led by some of the best but not some of the brightest.

Oh Dr. Druid. May you long stay dead. Having spent most of his early Avengers' career undermining the leadership of Captain Marvel, Druid took the reigns through mentally manipulating his fellow teammates. Needless to say, his run at the top ended in disaster and eventually his death.

Androids are incredibly effective at making pragmatic decisions, but not so much with the empathy. It didn't help that Vision's time in the big chair coincided with the fact that he was being controlled by Ultron. Good leaders let their emotions show from time to time and this android never shed any tears.

Black Widow
Leadership effectiveness: 6

Conflict resolution: 2
Black Widow gets downgraded due to the fact that she was part of a group of Avengers who made the conscious choice to kill a foe, in the case the Kree Supreme Intelligence. This led to the subsequent resignation of Captain America from the Avengers and the Black Widow leading what amounted to a team of C-Listers.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Iron Man. Forced to step down from original leadership roles due to being under investigation for MURDER, Iron Man has always had the unique ability to chafe the tights of other Avengers. Also, he was a drunk. Also, he basically forced a Civil War between the Avengers which resulted in the subsequent death of Captain America. Other than that, great leader.
