> In the first case you're depriving yourself of the opportunity to be helped by your team. I find that some people in the team want to help too much, wasting (a lot) of time on things that would've been solved in the same time by the one original person instead of by a bunch of persons while wasting multiple person's time. When someone is really stuck, then sure, but more often (in my experience) it's just the kind of stuck which is there because it just takes time to work through a particular problem and trying out solutions. I find that people often 'want to help' to show they need to be promoted / get more money because 'they are so good' and 'are such a great team player' (aka signalling instead of actually contributing to the bottom line; doing the opposite by, every day, wasting time 'helping out' instead of finishing their own tasks faster). Helping out is good, but I think daily is too often to assess (assessing from a 2minute blurb, because apparently the victim is not asking for it; they get 'help' forced upon them) if help is needed or not.
