Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Failing to relinquish control to the team is a management mistake that could cause teams to fail. The success of teams often requires empowered team members who have the ability to make decisions and take responsibility for their actions. If Nermina insists on maintaining control and micromanaging the team, members may become demotivated and feel like their contributions are not valued, which can ultimately lead to failure.
