An important part of leadership is explaining decisions so that everyone has sufficient understanding of the goals as well as their contributions necessary to achieving said goals. This also invites feedback that may improve the process of achieving the desired outcomes, or reveal that the decision conflicts with other initiatives.
I have a predictable response to leaders that cannot explain decision-making but instead hide behind hand-waving statements like "it's a gut feeling" and that response is "well then let's get a scalpel so we can share that with everyone else."

Leaders who have too many of these hand-wavey directions that fail, should be relegated to an advisory position to my mind, until they have better gut feelings or can articulate them better.
