Being a good leader isn't easy, but it's made a lot harder by egotistical, selfish, prideful and pretenders who think leading is all about pointing the finger and ordering people around. It is not that at all. It can be a lonely job, one can't be everyone's friend all the time, but one can be empathetic, focused on solutions, engaging and empowering...well, I've written so many posts about it I'm sure I don't need to say it all again.

When the time is right you'll know, or it'll be thrust upon you, and when it is just do your best, seek to learn, know you'll make mistakes and that your best asset is the people you lead.

And eat garlic.
