Personally this is the writers' fault, they could have easily made Lucas into a good section chief, but instead they decided to sacrifice it to make a loopy and idiotic Lucas storyline about him fussing over another love interest and getting too deep into his own messed-up personal life.

He did show small moments of when he did try to help out and look after the new recruits, but it was all overwhelmed and overshadowed under all this Lucas-Is-John storyline. It just overtook everything to the point everything just exploded and left everyone else with the WTF feeling.

Lucas got Section Chief because since he was the most senior agent on the team, it was bound to end up with him. And for the early episodes of the series he actually did well. He took care of his team, made sure they were okay, he got the job done. But he was never given a chance to show the full extent of his abilities as this Lucas-Is-John storyline started to take over and everything just went pear-shaped afterwards.
