Convertible option coming from the leader (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
top-down
'convertible' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for top-down that I've seen before include "(Of management) run from above" , "how autocratic leaders make decisions" .)
