Part of the job of being a manager is disagreeing with other people.
Look, their ideas may be wrong and you are the person who is going to have to step up and let them know that they are wrong. As you can well imagine, this does not always go over well.

However, since none of us have had any manager training in how to do this, most of us do it incorrectly.
