Do you ever hesitate to step into leadership roles on a big project? I’m working on one and it’s cross departamental. It’s clear no one wants to take ownership and I’m already annoyed that it’s going to impact my work. Yet I don’t want to once again, volunteer to lead on it.

How would you handle that situation? I really don’t want to see the project fail or become problematic

OP I am the same way as you. I always end up taking the leadership role because I don't want my name associated with something that doesn't end up going well. I think I would once again step up and take the lead so that I could make sure it went well.

That's a tough one. I would probably start off being smart and avoiding getting totally pulled into it. But I know what I'm like, I'd eventually get to the point where I would step up and take the wheel.
