Just because you are willing to discuss your plans with your troops

And in some circumstances, the inexperienced guy may see a better way to plan
or execute a mission, simply because he/she sees things in a different light. I
had a co-pilot during ALLIED FORCE come up with a very simple solution to a
tactical problem that us more experienced guys were over looking. I had a bit
of a chuckle when we executed the bomb run as the co-pilot had suggested. But
our more complex plans would have been more fun to execute
