The critical few seem to overpower you because they are loud and more vocal. And even though their opinions are not supported by the majority, it’s not often you see the silent (and supportive) majority voice out.
Therefore many leaders live under the assumption that everyone else feels that way. Some even quit, leaving the silent (and the needy) majority starving.
