Great article. I consider myself lucky enough to work under a guy who understands this completely and impresses on new hires that if we think he's out of line, we should say so.

In return, while I regularly argue and pick at my boss's decisions, I give it an undercurrent of "In the end, it's your call". If he's willing to take the time to argue with me about something then I'm willing to not be a dick about it.
