Unfortunately, we have too many "leaders" who believe they are leaders by virtue of their position. Consider, the Seven Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives from an article way back...<br />

They think they have all the answers.<br />

They underestimate obstacles.<br />

They stubbornly rely on what worked for them in the past.<br />
