What do companies ask, for a Designer to become a Design/Creative Lead. I've seen Ppl getting promoted to Lead in 10+ years in some companies and just 5-6 years in some companies. Any idea?

IMO This depends from company to company. Traditionally you would see it in 7-10 years however there is a wave in young startups giving such a promotion between 5-7 years aswell based on R&R

Well, I'm talking about companies like McKinsey, KPMG and EY offering lead positions starting from 5+ years of experience, to people who have no experience in leading teams.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
