Is it more stressful to be a leader or a staff officer/NCO?

Being the leader, who is then put in a Staff position...is tougher then either.
Had the stress of leadership, then moved to a staff position "because you know what its like be waiting on resources, info, help"
Now that Infantry leader that has led patrols is the support platoon PSG, "to fix things and get it done" or the Battle NCO in the TOC "Because we have to get this right of lots die" or the S-1 PAC "Because that idiot in there now is killing morel and confidence in the unit with all the crap he is screwing up effecting spouses at home"
All reason I have seen mid and senior NCOS moved from a successful role as a team leader, sqd leader or PSG, to a staff position because the very smart commanders knew, mediocre NCO as a SQD leader means a somewhat less effective platoon...mediocre NCO on the radios and tracking board in the TOC means the entire battalion is at risk anytime an element is outside the wire.

Having bounced back and forth, in Staff positions, it seemed I got all of the stress and none of the glory. Very little job satisfaction, and it seemed a daily grind of reports that effectively moved paper from one in basket on my desk to another in basket on another desk.
Whatever stress I experienced in leadership positions was always offset with the feeling of accomplishing something with my Soldiers.

Leaders, that is commanders, may have to make decisions that could, and sometimes do, get people under their command killed. I was a staff officer and Army Civilian in a staff-officer type position for over 10 years. No decision I made or order I wrote or edited directly endangered the lives of military members or civilian employees. The people with "commander" below their name were ultimately responsible for those orders and the associated successes or failures. My job was to make sure the orders or directives were written clearly and coordinated as completely as possible, within time constraints, to set up the subordinate units for success. The staff job often involved lots of "paper work" and maybe some long hours, but not the heavy responsibility of command. That's why the Services tend to promote people with command experience.
