No, the expression "lead to" does not always refer to something negative! The general meaning is that one thing causes something else to happen or exist. So that could be negative or positive. Ex: Sometimes evaluations at work lead to getting promotions. Ex: Breaking the rules can lead to getting detention at school. Ex: Being kind can lead to good things happening to you.
