Completely agree. I was brought into a project a while back to redesign a particular line that was preforming extremely well and was growing year after year. I question the need for the redesign and gave a bit of push back. I was then told that VP of X said they did not like the current design and wanted to see a change. When I ask what about the item they did not like there was not real reason.
Just because upper management asks to do something does not always mean it is the right thing to do. It is our job to show them why it should or should not be done. If you speak up generally they listen.
