Lily likes to work independently. She does good work, so her boss asked her to lead a team to complete a project. Lily looked at the project requirements and realized that she could do most of it herself. She decided that she would delegate some of the smaller pieces but take care of most of it.

No, she is not giving others an opportunity to do their jobs. A strong leader should facilitate collaboration and empower team members to contribute their skills and expertise. By taking on most of the work herself, Lily is not only limiting the growth opportunities for her colleagues but also potentially overlooking the benefits of diverse perspectives and ideas within the team. Effective delegation and allowing team members to participate fully can lead to better outcomes and a more engaged team.
