Eh. Not a fan of that headcanon myself. He's a bit too competant for that sort of thing in my opinion; both in fighting and also in giving advice or directing people and organising them, such as when picking the leaders of teams.

He picks the ones who could learn the most from the position by my reckoning; Ruby leads RWBY because it'll teach her to step up and take charge and be confident in herself, and because she can get the most growth personally from being the leader. Jaune is the leader of JNPR because he has a to to learn about everything to do with being a Huntsman, and being a leader means he has no choice but to learn it. Cardin became the leader of CRDL because he needs to learn humility and teamwork (he seems a bit full if himself and he took Dove out in the fight against Pyrrha, not Pyrrha -_- ).

Of course, natural dispositions weigh into it as well, but that is the trend I've seen behind Ozpin's decisions of who is the leader of each team.
