That is not how to treat an OCdt. Sure, they know "nothing", but someone, somewhere, thinks that they might have "the Right Stuff". It's not yet proven (that's why they are still OCdts!), and they get trained before they get to command. If they don't, they wash out (maybe "juarez" out?) >
Yes, they have to learn to listen to their NCOs and WOs, but in the end, it is they (as 2Lts and up) who will have the final say. As I've instructed my candidates on Infantry Officer Development Period 1.1 (aka "Phase III" or "Dismounted Platoon Commander"), the Pl Comd and the Pl 2IC are a team. The Command Team. If they have disagreements, which they will, they will sort them out in the absence of the Sect Comds and on down, in order to project a unified front. If not, the effects will be terminal on the platoon, for it is the troops who in the end will suffer.
