I find managers who see themselves as visionary hero's, who mentors subordinates often forget engineers are capable people with their own ideas, self motivated with skills they probably don't have themselves.
They dont need to be lead, but helped to self organise and to stop external interference.

I've been learning that first-hand for the past year, especially when it comes to subordinates that are not too keen on being dealt with in a "conventional" manner.
