Bear in mind, there are 2 extremes of agenda setting: what 1 person dictates and what a collective proposes/prioritizes.

There is immensely more brain power in the collective, but only if managed effectively. As my father always said “the best governeance is a benevolent dictator”. Unfortunately, there is no way of ensuring consistent, ongoing benevolance.

So, 80/20 rule applies (as with 80% of everything ;-), IMO. You can fool some of the people most of the time, you can fool most of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool most of the people most of the time (80/20, i.e. the Pareto priciple as stated by P.T. Barnum)

Stated another way, own the agenda w/ everyone’s input on agenda proposals/priorities. If you are not pissing off 20%, or pissing off more, you will undermine the agenda.

Get their input, make your stand. People will respect this. The 20% will respect the 80% or die without your accomodation anyway.
