I think you are in a great place if you think you may be too charitable in "attributing reason to other people's behaviour", it opens you to gems you would otherwise not notice and rewards that you would probably pass by otherwise. You are not pompous, lucky you! I'd like to be there, but I still have some growing. (Think the 60 year old who says "I'd like to be a fireman when I grow up")
I am in a guiding position just because of the nature of my job and the fact that people who held this position before me did a lot of B.S. with smoke and mirrors. I recently began to feel that I was insulting peoples' intelligence by doing everything for them - sort of a tricky place between "good customer service" and a patronizing baby-sitter. I am keen on demystifying things and letting them use their brains, they're happy and I can get 8 hours worth of work done in less than 4 hours. I can also get them to do some of what would otherwise have been my work. They seem pleased by this sort of thing, as well they should be, because dammit they're good enough! Okay so I do experiments on them, but it's all in the interest of better meeting their needs.
