The situation

You're in charge of a group task, and you care about it going well — maybe a bit too much. You've quietly ended up doing nearly everything yourself, because when you hand a job to someone else, they don't do it exactly how you would, and it's easier to just take it back and fix it. Now you're exhausted and a little resentful, doing the work of four people. Meanwhile your group members are getting bored and a bit useless, because every time they try, you swoop in and redo it. One of them even said, "Well, you clearly don't need us." You wanted it done right. But "done right" has somehow turned into "done entirely by you," and that's not actually working for anyone — including the task.
