That's what you get for being a leader. It isn't all glorious, either.

Think about music composers, movie directors, athletes, political leaders, etc.

The entire definition of being a leader is that you are individually held responsible for the results of everyone you lead. It's not fair, but it works because holding someone to that level of responsibility and the level of autonomy that goes with it means they can use all their creativity and resourcefulness to deliver results and overcome obstacles.
