Ya there are some decisions that are best taken from the top like “what is the overall direction for the company”, “who is our real customer”.

We should absolutely listen to the views of anyone in the company who has an opinion but some questions require a lot more knowledge and maturity than individual departments may have.

In many of these questions, there are several right answers so we only need to decide the answer that we are most driven by. The people who are most invested in the company are the ones to whom such answers must appeal.
