Sometimes it's difficult to detect the difference between an extreme focus on productivity and an extreme focus on luxury. In both cases, the leader may invest in supports systems that appear lavish. One man has a driver because it makes him feel important; another has a driver because it helps him achieve more. In both cases, the leader may appear self-important. The difference is in the motive, and the indicator of the motive is in the functional outcome.
