And that involves also being able to relate to them on the human level.
So many leaders are inept in their roles. I think every manager should be required to take a management class.
One boss I had was SO terrible, all of us employees approached our union president with a list of legitimate gripes. As a result, the company required that our boss take a leadership course. I left the organization before seeing the results of that course.

I do agree that a lot of managers lack the proper skills to lead. Either that or they may be afraid to as well. At my work, I'm the only one who is younger than my supervisor. We are in our 30's. Everyone else is in their 40's, 50's, and 60's so she is not one to say anything if they are being lazy or doing something they shouldn't. She is a nice person, I have no personal issues with her, but she does seem to not be very assertive.
