When one person is the only accepted authority, visionary and mouthpiece in any entity, then what was an organism becomes a giant head with no legs, arms, feet and hands. That's not a healthy body, it's a mutation - a monster. And you will soon find that nothing is getting done or if things are getting done, they all have the same goal and bent. Because one person just can't do everything. I'm not totally sure that's true.
Division comes when there no leadership and everything becomes chaotic.
Just as a cord takes on multiplied strength when it is bound together with two, or three, or even four others, so a business, civic organization, or a church is strengthened by the added parts contributing to the progress. Teamwork is a good thing. Let's cautiously let go of the reins and see if someone doesn't immediately pick them up and continue to go forward. There just be another Moses or David standing in the wings.
