Friction is required to move forward, but it also wears you out, and generates needless heat.
Too many times the friction between great leaders creates so much heat, it burns everyone around them.
The more self-aware leader steps away. Not as a sign of weakness, but to protect the people that look up to her/him.
Faced with this scenario, try to be the more self-aware leader. Step back, step away. What you will preserve is worth much more than making your point now.

A place of honor
Luke 14:8-11
“When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him; and he who invited you both will come and say to you, `Give place to this man,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, `Friend, go up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Homily:
For those who reach for the crown, the crown eludes.
For those who flee from the crown, the crown pursues.
