Heavy is the head that wears the crown

I am not King Henry, so I need not resort to murder. However, circumstances may make me change into the person that I do not want to be.

Was tasked to lead my group come up with new initiatives and present to the management. In the end, I felt it was easier to do everything myself. The coming up of ideas, the design of the slides, even the presentation itself. I will be presenting tomorrow. I am not begrudging anybody. Neither do I feel that it is unfair. In fact, I do not mind doing everything because it is difficult to get everyone to meet up and discuss and with our primary duties to perform every day, I try to lessen everyone's burden. I guess that's what being a group leader should do. Not just to harness the talents of all the members but also to look after their welfare. Should the presentation go well tomorrow, I will credit it to my group. Should it fail to achieve the desired results, I will accept all responsibilities. How phony can my nobility get?

He says I have to be on top of things and that I have to make sure that instructions passed down are followed and not misinterpreted. I guess I should be more observant and alert to stop things that are not in concordance with logic or common sense.


More and more responsibilities on my shoulder. Are they challenges or burdens? Is it a crown of swords then?
