Bottom Line

Content: Good leaders lead by example and provide those under them a picture of what is possible. When you see a leader step back and give someone else the opportunity to lead, it's usually of one of a few solid reasons: training, delegation, or expertise. Training
Leaders develop their team members. They help the team members gain new skills to help the team increase its ability to reach the leader's goal. One important skill the leader teaches the team is leadership. And, oddly, another is followership. One way you give someone an opportunity to learn and improve their leadership skill is by letting them lead. If the leader always leads, no one else on the team will ever have the chance to practice leading and they won't improve in that key skill. So when the leader steps back and lets someone else take over it helps them both.
