There is some guy in our department whose job is to run a dispatch centre, however all of the other team members conduct shifts there. However, even though he is the main person there as assigned by our boss, he always seeks out suggestions from us.
Um, no, lack of confidence in others does not 'amuse' me. It seems like kind of a juvenile attitude to me. Like the way in high school cliques used to put each other down to make themselves feel better.
If the person in question were my supervisor, I would probably be frustrated that the designated leader didn't have the confidence to lead. But regardless, I try to offer encouragement to people who suffer from insecurity.
Not in the least. On this I agree with Kodaka that lack of self confidence in and of itself isn't amusing except to someone with a very immature sense of humor; and I agree too with Ringo1 that a supervisor who seeks input from those beneath him is infinitely preferable to one who simply dictates.

Do people like this amuse you secretly?
No. Personally, people like you, who find enjoyment and amusement from other people's flaws, annoy me.

No it doesn't. Seeking out suggestions is considered a good management style. Would you prefer that he ignores your opinion? Your attitude on the other hand, that does amuse me.

We have the exact opposite situation at my current employment: Myself and my coworkers work for our supervisor and are treated as underlings/personal assistants who live to serve the boss' every whim.
Personally (and this is probably why I'm not in a management role), I'd rather have a supervisor who works with employees and values input/differing opinions.
My experience is that people who lack self-confidence turns themselves and their workplace inside-out trying to "be better than someone/anyone" and in my job, human services, it's a complete breakdown. Forget it when it's the manager with the problem.
I think the OP is either a troll or a complete putz.
