> and follow directions Ultimately yes, but a manager who takes decisions without considering the input of their subordinates is shortsighted and oblivious to their challenges. Saying that it's a "team decision" while no one else in the team was even aware of that decision and the process behind it is dishonest at best. In my opinion, that shows that the manager was doing a poor communication job with his subordinates and ensure that the decision process was understood, and that led to frustration on both sides.
