Does culture matter?

Yes. Culture is partly, a process of making people behave in a predictable fashion. If you make your subordinate as similar to you as possible, then there is a good chance that he/she will perceive G instead of G* . But you have to be committed to juggling G and G* and take the risk that someone actively pursuing G* is not getting ahead of you.
