I like that a lot. My favourite leaders haven't sought out my opinions much, but they made their intentions and basis clear. If I wanted to change something in their plan, I could do the work of making an argument from their basis. Most people aren't going to do the work of actually making an argument, so they get brushed aside. The few people who do bother to make an argument are the ones with a lot of conviction and motivation toovercome the new obstacles.
