Hi Jon,
Your points demonstrate the true character of a leader. I would like to add my sentiments from a team player viewpoint. We should also expect that I leaders do not have all of the answers and not criticize them when they honestly do not. We should contribute our knowledge to the team not to belittle our leaders but to add value to the team and show appreciation to our leaders who are there to cultivate our professional development with their leadership ability. By doing so there is a win-win for our team. Always remember that though we have an area of expertise our leaders have perhaps mastered several areas and have years of experience and have the character of leadership. Leadership is not just about what you are an expert in but how you motivate, coach, develop, and get others to follow.
