This question was asked at a recent webinar, now available on-demand:

Please add your thoughts about it below. Thanks!

"If they think that, then, either you are not communicating what you want to do effectively, they are not actually doing their job and you somehow have to deal with it so you can get your job done. The flip of the coin of this argument is if you are annoying someone and you have a clear objective that will have defined, measurable results then who cares what they think. Sometimes you just have to annoy people to move things forward, but I would tread carefully."
