We are going through a system modernization (government) and volunteer teams from each division were formed to work on the effort with the vendor. I volunteered to be a member of the team to assist, but soon after my joining the leader of the team was removed due to some bad behavior with another team member.

My management asked me if I wanted to fill in temporarily as the team lead. I have never led a team before (or supervised) and I told them this. They assured me I would be fully supported, so i said yes. Now two months later I am still the lead and it appears permanent until I say so. I am not enjoying this lead role nor do I feel adequately supported.

I am torn up about this as I want to succeed but I'm leaning towards go back to my regular position (which is waiting for me). How do I step down without it looking bad?
