> There is one thing to always remember: Never accept responsibility without having the power to change things.

This resonates a lot with me, I think it represents the situation well.

I remember a meeting during which the marketing manager / graphic designer (a student is cheaper) was asked to re-design part of a consumer app. So I asked that she be able to make final decisions about any changes so that I wouldn't lose too much in going back and forth for approval.

Management said no, they had the final say.

A nice illustration of what you just said.

Thank you very much, I keep your recommendations preciously.
