If more academics dropped the main character syndrome, the university sector would be a much better place. The more senior you become, the more you should see your role as a facilitator and assister. You may still need to lead, but it's to lift others up, not yourself.

Eight years ago, a budding scientist gave a commercial airline pilot a gift that would link the two for life. Since then, they'd met in person and linked up on social media. But when she boarded a flight a week ago, she didn't expect to see him. Then an announcement came over the PA system.
