Self-Evolution vs. the Need for Job Perfection

Lately I have been on a quest to "Be the Best I Can Be", which entails examining how I do my job and how I can improve.  I was dealt a blow today when I was told by a team member that I "act more like an upper-management manager than a team leader".  So I have taken the criticism in stride and am now working on my methods of empowerment in my quest for self-evolution instead of over-achieving perfectionism.
