In the scenario provided, big event little time, most experienced autocrats/officers would not blame someone for taking the most expedient route. However, you could end up causing hurt feelings, lack of volunteers, etc., etc, etc... But one thing I have always believed is Teams do not have to be small, nor do all things need to be set in stone. Wiggle room is good. Creativity can be your friend. Everyone who wants to help, can be helpful. You just have to look at what needs done and assign accordingly.
Managers can have Deputies to work with... Though you need to make sure that you don't assign a new worker bee to someone that likes to play close to the chest, because communication is key so that you have an automatic backup. Added bonus, you will find out where that new worker will fit in the reliability list.
If you have someone that is reliable and can get things done, but doesn't play well with others, they can be tasked with items that allow them to help but don't need that interaction with the team other than the autocrat.
In the long run, IMHO you can satisfy the most people by trying to work with all those that volunteer. But I don't autocrat much.
