No. They didn't really have production roles in Shakespeare's day like we do, so it's difficult to say who was a producer or a director or a stage manager. However, business matters for his acting company were mainly taken care of by Cuthbert Burbage, Richard Burbage's brother, who you might say was the producer for the company. When the company were paid for a court performance in 1596, the money was paid to Burbage, Kempe and Shakespeare on behalf of the company.

What were William Shakespeare's leadership qualities?

We actually do not know. Shakespeare was a member of an acting company and an important one, but he was not its leader. Its leader was Richard Burbage, the lead actor. It was Burbage, not Shakespeare, who decided to build the Globe Theatre and hired the architect. Shakespeare is mentioned prominently in lists of the actors in the company, sometimes at the very top, so he was important, but that does not mean he was a leader in any way. The notion that Shakespeare was a "director" in the modern sense is pure conjecture; we have no reason to believe that anyone fulfilled that role in Elizabethan playing companies.
