I wouldn't go so far to say she has natural talent in the combat department. Ruby even says herself that she was complete garbage until her uncle took the time to teach her himself. So she isn't a natural and is as good as she is with the use of hard work.

As far as Weiss as a leader, I don't see it. Weiss is too unwilling to admit when she makes a mistake and as a result, would abuse her role as leader to get the other to do what she wants and constantly turning down their ideas in place of hers, leading to a lot of hostility. Even when not the team leader, she has already gotten into fights with two of her teammates and Peter Port pretty much outlined the reason why she wouldn't be a good leader. You could say by the end of Volume 1 she has matured, but that is a result of her not being a leader. If she was the team leader, I'd imagine Blake being arrested as soon as Weiss found out she was a member of the White Fang.
