She was a great leader. She recognized that our team was cohesive and could make a better decision than she could. She was one of the best managers I ever had.

The reports were all good friends, she knew that, and gave them the option for her to decide or them. She apparently didn't know the personal lives of the reports as well as they did themselves.
