I clarify his concept and draft the wording, thus I can influence the boss (if he reads and understands it) and it gives me a chance to get larger parts of the company behind an idea of mine.

Yet the piece is not fully his nor is it fully mine in the end. It is co-created, and as a boss in a hierarchical organization, he traditionally gets to sign it. That makes it a bit a fake because it perpetuates a lie about authorship. I get the compensation, more such work in future but not the fame. Fortunately, in the company I work for, I can decline such assignments.

Awakened executives let the ghost materialize and name both authors. I find working with such leaders is more productive and rewarding.
