NOBODY wants to be the managing partner, but it's one of those "it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it" things. Now, this may not be the case for @astrangerhere, but that's how it usually is, FWIW.

I'm a legal aid attorney. I literally only work for those who cannot afford to pay, so no, it was not about money or power. This is not a traditional firm, though I did work myself to death at one of those for seven years at the start of my career.
This job is part teacher (this is a lot of attorneys' first job), part manager, and part non-profit runner. I'm glad I'm doing it, its just been a lot of hours in these first few months. I'm still trying to get a lot of my processes automated so I can focus just on the actual legal work. Getting there, just feeling it right now.
