Leadership has many faces. Your dream leader likely isn't the one who will challenge and stretch you to grow.

Your work style may not match that of your leader or those you lead. Ask better questions to make sure that you are playing to one another's strengths.
Know your strengths so that you can complement the strengths of a leader with a style that isn't necessarily compatible.
Not everyone in a leadership position has a leadership skill set. Recognize when you need to lead from behind and proactively make suggestions. Also, don't be afraid to express your needs or areas where you would like support to grow.
