A good manager may appear on the surface to have an easier job, but that’s only because he has found and appointed competent lieutenants whom he can trust, and to whom he can delegate responsibility to carry out the mission objectives.
Poor managers, in contrast, seem on the surface to be working harder, but that’s only because they haven’t been able to properly delegate and/or have people under them unable to carry out the tasks required, thus leaving the manager to have to do nearly everything.

Obama: lousy manager (in actuality, not a manager at all, but a figurehead)
Washington had it easier than Lincoln.
Hank Aaron had it easier than Babe Ruth.
Jim Brown had it easier than Hugh McElhenny.
Ted Williams had it easier than Bobby Bonds.
Hank Aaron had it easier the Barry Bonds.
