Or they don't have the vision to know how others will accomplish what they are asking for.

This is a big struggle for me; people who want to play product owner, and make requests that are very ignorant of work required. Or think they know just what work is required and spell out development approaches despite not having any background or experience in software development.

They key really is getting to know what it is they really want to do and then deliver a solution. Which can be its own exercise in frustration.
