Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Whether to use Leadership or not, depends of a map. If it is fully dedicated to one faction (Tower, Inferno, Stronghold), or if there is only one player on it, Leadership isn't the most important skill, as in most cases, you'll have positive morale, because all your troops are from the same town. On a map with many types of towns it works, especially when you capture a Necropolis and summon undead who decrease morale (pity that Leadership is completely unavailable for Necropolis heroes, therefore summoned troops from other towns will have bad morale - unless a Death Knight or Necromancer gets Leadership on the map, e.g. in a Witch Hut; and during a siege, Tavern will help even in Necropolis). Aside from Necropolis, the town for which Leadership is least important is Conflux as Elementals are immune to morale.

Leadership is a mediocre secondary skill, which is not among the worst skills but not among the best either. Although an extra attack turn in combat round due to a high morale for the right creatures stack can swing the odds in a battle, getting the extra attacks is a just over 10% chance at best. It sees better use in the hands of Heroes leading mixed armies or any other situations where gaining high morale is for whatever reason a problem (which is almost never the case on pre-generated maps).
