Leaders run TOWARDS problems not AWAY from them.
The value of a leader is that they jump into messes and make solutions. They meet straight on with difficult situations, people, financial issues, and strategic choices. Often times there are small but irreplaceable development experiences to be found for NEXT leaders by being willing to take the leadership of a problem and finding a workable solution.

SO — the next time an issue arises and you are around, pitch in. get involved. pay attention. offer suggestions. watch for the outcome or resolution. ask if you can take the reigns on this one. take notes. add to your experience so that you will be a better leader.
