On paper I own the outcome, but not one person on the team actually reports to me. I spend my days nudging, persuading, and gently begging people to do things I can't tell them to do. When it works I feel like I fooled everyone, and when it stalls I feel like a fraud pretending to lead.
More people experience this than they realize.
You're accountable for the results but have power over no one, and it makes you feel like a fraud.
