And some Prima Donna cooks sometimes forget they are part of a team. 
Sometimes it is a good idea to consult with the other folks running an
event. The cook may or may not decide to follow their advice or comments,
but often the diplomacy of simply being willing to listen will smooth
over the original opposition to an idea. Conversely, not being wiling to
listen to any comments or suggestions can often lead to a more stubborn 
opposition to any new ideas. 

At least in our area, the autocrat/event steward is the one ultimately 
responsible for the event. The headcook works under him (or her).
