Prior to reading your comment, I had not been aware of such feeling.

I aspire to be in a leadership position in the future. However, right now let me tell you why and how I would like to be led or directed by somebody:

- You give me space to voice my opinions as if I am a specialist in the subject; - You give me space to make mistake and learn from them; - You are willing to admit that you don't know a certain topic; - You carry about your own self-development; - You are willing to support me on areas where I lack knowledge or experience without judging; - You often show that you care about the people in the team, and whether we are doing what matters; - You deal with me as the adult that I am, and you are open to have difficult conversations with empathy about topics such as: under-performance, misfit, interpersonal conflicts, or even about letting me go (firing);

"who are you to tell us what to do"

Well, you are the human capable of trusting each member of your team of doing the best they can, and capable of sitting with them when things are not working.
