I think history has shown that it is something you are just born with - for the most part. There are many British monarchs over the centuries who have been described as "weak" or "not respected".

For example, one of the King Williams from way back was called Silly Billy behind his back. These past monarchs must have received leadership training, but they failed, although there are probably some exceptions.

Some just have it, some can learn it, and some are hopeless.
