You have to put yourself out there on the line to get better. assess obvious hazards as you climb and protect accordingly to minimize those hazards.
top roping in a gym wont cull your fear of falling so much in and of itself, but instead builds your strength, and as a result, can improve your lead head just because you know that you can hang on to that jug for a long time. this isnt true for everyone, but it was for me. gaining strength in the gym went a long way when i made the jump to leading .10 on gear...
that said, of course it isnt the total solution in and of itself, there's alot more to it and you give some great advice for when you're out on the rock.
