Strange enough, this is what the constitution expects the leader to do.

  5.3. Procedure
  
   The Project Leader should attempt to make decisions which are
   consistent with the consensus of the opinions of the Developers.
   
   Where practical the Project Leader should informally solicit the views
   of the Developers.
   
   The Project Leader should avoid overemphasizing their own point of
   view when making decisions in their capacity as Leader.
   
I would certainly not vote a candidate who is not familiar with this
paragraph of the constitution, or who is not willing to follow it.

Thanks,
Marcus
