Questioning Aurhority.
Probably the most important ability to internalize, yet rarely told by anyone. Turns out most authorities dont like being questioned in terms of legitimacy, yet its important to not blindly follow someone just because of a title. Especially if the title is worthless and does not reflect relevant skills. Everyone can act as CEO, but not everyone can be a medical doctor.
Usually disliked by those who shouldn't be in a position of authority. Good leaders will be able to really handle and be welcoming of constructive criticism.
I wasn't outside of getting upset at my mom growing up, and when that would happen, she used to joke "if I was your dad, I'd be a success."
In all seriousness, one good example I know of is game testers make bad game designers. Back when Nintendo was making Mario Kart 8, they discovered some of the people actually overseeing production actually had bad vertigo (purportedly including Iwata and/or Miyamoto), so they'd invite them in to see the games being tested so they could see if it triggered their vertigo which they would attempt to fix, then repeat cycle. Now had those people with vertigo been making the games, we probably would've gotten simple Diddy Kong style race tracks.
