I do not subscribe to that, my feeling is:
"Do something you love and you will, inevitable, eventually learn to hate it."
So yeah, work to live.

Agreed that that saying is BS. For most people, if you monetized their hobby and put timeline pressures and other burdens, they'd easily learn to hate something they love.
I love cooking for friends, but I'd hate being a chef.
I like traveling, but I'd hate being a tour guide.
etc.

Completely inappropriate since I’ve never had my leadership questioned before. Also, kind of funny since we work for an educational institution that offers and teaches courses in leadership.

Sounds like the type of person whose self worth is based on how many people he/she stands on top of. Without being able to step on people or throw them under the bus, they don't feel enough of a sense of self worth.
People who have imposters syndrome with people stepping attributes are the absolute worst. On the other side of the coin, I've been a manager for many years and I've often tried to be intentional to boost the confidence of those who are competent but seem to have varied forms of imposter syndrome.
