    I'm fine with it and there are times where this is something I do.

    No issues here. Have trained numerous bosses.

    Your boss may have big-picture ability, or managerial skills, but still need to be trained on skills and techniques. Nothing unusual there.

    IMO Good Leaders hire people who can do the job better than them, as their job isn't your job but to manage it. There's a difference, yes, it can be frustrating, I get it. Becoming a subject matter expert and training your boss is growing your skills. After awhile turn it around and tell your boss to train you on something in their world so that you can continue to develope.
