I've started to do this as well.
I highly recommend this for all leaders no matter what their level.
Drop into a beginner class on a regular basis. I picked up a detail
last night alone that in my privates I was getting but clearly not
understanding.
At the same time leaders I highly recommend throwing your ego and
your manhood right out the window and learning how to follow! Trust
me it will give you a world of perspective as well as a world of
understanding for what you SHOULD be doing versus what she's doing!
