I imagine you may be rereading it less than you expect, as I've no doubt you'll make note of the important parts from the start.
Daunting? Well, trying to ensure that everything works out as planned, I suppose, though I must confess that I don't find it nearly as much work as managing the Roland Empire. However, you have had relatively limited experience in being in a position of leadership, if I recall? Perhaps you should try to focus on the sort of image as a gym leader you wish to present, and then simply take the steps necessary to achieve that. No two gyms are alike, nor are their leaders, and a gym leader acting according to his convictions is never truly acting 'wrong' in that role, so to speak. Whether it's ruling the gym with an iron fist, or being enigmatic and aloof, or helping and tutoring all comers, in all cases each gym leader provides a unique experience for challengers to overcome.
But to return to your original question, as ours was the first Aurora League gym, I admit that Ryner and I weren't entirely certain what to expect to begin with. As a result, we tried to plan for a scenario of dealing with as much traffic as we've see at peak times in Indigo League gyms, in the event ours should be similar. However as it happened, the newness of the league meant we probably had a bit of a slower start than those gyms that came later, so I'm afraid on that point I don't have much to offer. Except perhaps to mention that you shouldn't hesitate to make use of the generous funds the League provides to establish and run the gym. If you find yourself in need of more help for any reason, then simply hire someone as needed. The funding exists to ensure that the gyms operate smoothly, it isn't wasteful to use it to that purpose.
Sion is in his element when he's helping people in meaningful ways, Armin can always come to him <3
