Yeah, I get that. It's ironic that not knowing all the answers is the key to managing well. More specifically, not believing that you have to know all the answers. That's part of why you have people on a team.
I have read (somewhere) that the single most important role of a leader is to create consensus. It is not your job as a leader, ideally, to make the decision, but to facilitate your team members coming to a consensus on the best decision. Sometimes, of course, you will have to make a decision, and that is where having a strong background in the area helps out, but that is when a consensus could not be reached or some other constraint got in the way of your team coming to the best conclusion themselves.
Also a Steve Jobs quote I always found informative on leadership, “You don’t hire smart people to tell them what to do; you hire smart people so that they can tell you what to do.”
