Overview: A question which always arises is that do leaders create meaning for others, or do they help others to discover it? It has been argued that leaders create meaning by fabricating values whole cloth by their all-powerful will. Although this is a silly notion, it permits a very romantic vision of the CEO, a demigod who creates meaning for employees. If these are mere subjective evaluations, then it is a mere step to imposing these values on others not by force but by suggestion. Hence, when strategy content is counter-intuitive, an effort on the part of top management is necessary to convey the rationality of core values and a strategy content.
