REALISTICALLY...Could you do a better job than your supervisor?

I tend to reserve any judgement until I am in that person's shoes. I use to pass judgement and comment how I could do a better job, then when I held the job I realized that my old boss did a good job in his/her own way. We all accomplish the mission in different ways and some people are lucky enough to have great mentors or god given talent. Better to help your boss when you can and exhibit some non-traditional leadership skills when possible. Just my opinion. 

I try to assist in any way possible to help a situation improve with out really making a suggestion that I can do it better. I will say I have had poor leadership in the past but I have also had outstanding leadership. I learned from those experiences of what to do and what not to do. No one can definitely say they could do better. Each situation is different and circumstances are based on various checks and balances. I think the one thing everyone should do is try to make a positive influence to a situation and build up one another. Never talk bad about each other in front of troops and be honest with leadership by giving constructive criticism.

My current supervisor is a former Squadron Commander.  She has skills that I have yet to fully understand.  I am taking this moment to learn from her...if nothing else, in fear of having to PERFORM what she is doing now (and knowing that what I have is lacking compared to what she is showing me!).
