A "leader" makes a decision and the people under him decide whether to listen to that decision, to push back against that decision, or leave. So in reality, the company's direction is influenced by people both at the top and at the bottom of the totem pole.

True leaders realize the importance of cultivating those underneath them, and adapting their direction to pushback or input.
