Shakespeare belonged to several acting companies. Historians believe that the first was the Leicester's or Queen's men, who recruited him and brought him to London. Once he established himself as a playwright, Shakespeare joined the Pembroke's Men, who produced his early plays. In 1594, Shakespeare joined the Lord Chamberlain's Men, an acting troupe that became the King's Men in 1603.

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.
