This is absolutely correct, and I'd extend the advice to any leader. The leaders who feel comfortable probably should not be and need a strong poke in the eye. The leaders who feel uncomfortable will learn a lot (and perform better) by understanding their fears, their "go to" behaviours--good and bad, and how these affect their teams and performance. I benefited from this as a senior leader and I see leaders increasingly receptive to deep discussions on EI, resilience, communications, mindset and beliefs. Which is all nothing but positive.
