Something else that's on my mind:
I'm involved in a local organization, and when some activity is discussed, I always put in 80% of the organizational work and 50% of the physical work to achieve the objective (assuming there is no explicitly defined role of leader which I hold in which case, I delegate more of the physical work).

Everyone else stands around and waits to be told what to do by someone in authority, whether explicit or assumed.

It is the way of things.
