The rebellion had always been seen as a tight-knit group that watched out for each other and fought side by side. Poe was at that point already a literal celebrated "hero of the rebellion" who was a bit of a hothead but got results. Holdo's behavior was just completely unlike anything we've seen from anyone in the rebellion in any prior movie, and her weird insistence on refusing to tell Poe even as little as "I have a plan, trust me" was purely to make the plot happen. The moral of the story became "blindly trust authority" and while she had every reason to keep the plan itself secret, her refusal to even SAY "I have a plan" was just bad writing. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
