I'm a 21yo "CEO" at a Junior Enterprise (JE is a business run solely by college students during the college). I thought I could handle everything, the studying of the college and the JE top leadership position, but in the last few days, so many problems have appeared that it's completely overwhelming and I'm thinking seriously of leaving it behind.
The problem is, I feel like I would let a lot of people kind of helpless there, for a while at least, until they vote for a new leader. Also, there's some underlying culture here that "going through completely horrible stress like I'm going through is part of the process" and that you get used to it with time, until you become a "full fledged" entrepreneur that can handle lots of information and solves problems easily. So, I'm not sure if I'm weak for giving up (after this, I really think that leadership is not for me) or if this really is a lot to put up with. I feel like the past "CEO" didn't face any problems like the ones I do.
And besides that, I like to live a minimalist lifestyle in every other aspect of my life, so my head is kind of tuned to try and bring everything to minimalism, but it's kind of impossible at my JE where my work is everything BUT minimalist.
What should I do? What's the proper way to look at myself? Thanks in advance
