I've seen it happens many times, and this is a real struggle for many as you kind of afraid to lose that feeling everyone are dependent on you (i.e. feeling important and needed). To push your career in the right direction, you constantly need to learn the skill of making yourself obsolete. This skill require you to constantly ask deeper questions on your role, your expectations from yourself and your thoughts on how to get better at it. Delegating and teaching others will allow you to take more responsibilities, move between projects and overall make your teammates and company better.
