		Meindl (1995) approached the importance of impressions followers’ have of their leaders, not by the impression management strategies of the leaders, but by the personal construct processes of the followers themselves.
		That is, he postulated that the formation of impressions in the follower were more dependent on their own constructs, than on the impression management strategies of the leader.
		Taking these two corollaries, and relating them to impression management seems to be a relatively easy task, however, the mere simplicity that Meindl conveys in his explanation causes this critic to grant less validity to it.
