Here is the problem with Weiss as a leader. Even if her father forced her to train and study to the extremes, Weiss has this very abstract goal of being perfect. As a result, she sees herself as being much better then everyone else out there and always expects to get her way (as mentioned by Peter Port).

This means that if Weiss was a leader, she would always see any decision she made as the right one and every other member as being wrong. Ruby on the other hand is more willing to accept that she isn't perfect and as such, is the better leader. A good example is when her and Weiss were in the woods and Weiss was unwilling to accept that she had gotten them lost. Weiss would also see her teammates as objects instead of real teammates; leading to her using them for her own goal of being perfect. Yes Weiss is bossy, but being bossy does not make for a good boss.
