It’s difficult to follow someone who you know you are better skilled than. It’s a universal condition. It’s exactly why we need to work on ourselves before leading at something others are better at leading.
On a happier note, nothing moves you up quicker than bringing those less skilled than you to your own level. Growth happens when you teach who you can, not just who you want.
Stay Positive & There’s No Division Between Leading, Teaching And Learning
