Lack of leadership skills at workplaces

I worked on many different companies , and I see there is a huge lack of leadership skills in the companies. I think the term being a leader is confused with micromanaging,  lack of empathy , being pushy to make things done, trying to find a scapegoat when things don’t work out. Being a leader means going at front.  Protecting your team, being the schield from outside world,putting your ego aside. This requires inner work.Not everyone has courage to do it. We need good leaders , otherwise toxic managers dominate the companies and this results in many unhappy,  burn out people.
