* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' "Operation I.T.", it's revealed that ''nobody'' wants [[Big Good|Numbuh 362's]] job as Supreme Leader of the organization, and when she starts hating the job herself because of the stress and decides to quit, the whole organization holds a game of tag, which whoever is "it" at the end of the time period having to take the job. Unfortunately, when [[Big Bad| Father]] ends up in control of it via a technicality, Numbuh 362 has to show true leadership skills to get her job back, which include eating through broccoli to fight him, a sacrifice that puts her in a coma for two weeks after she manages to defeat him. And she still takes back the job afterwards.
* In ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'', Rodimus Prime was never happy leading the Autobots, feeling - accurately - that he was an inexperienced leader and not as good of one as Optimus Prime was. He happily relinquished the Matrix back to Optimus the first time he seemingly returned, but had to become leader again, as that was only a zombie. When Optimus finally returned for real, he was able to return to his old position with clear conscience.
* From ''[[Disenchantment]]'':
** Zog, the King of Dreamland and the protagonist's father. He never wanted to be king; when he was young, he was a [[Warrior Prince]] who would have preferred to be a leader in Dreamland's army, and only became heir after his older brother was assassinated. As one might expect, he isn't a very competent ruler.
** His first wife (later ex-wife) Oona too. When she was a child, she dreamed of being a warrior, but ended up Queen after a marriage of convenience as part of a peace treaty. Eventually she got what she wanted after divorcing Zog, falling in with pirates and becoming their captain.
