As an employee, this strategy has always felt fake and look like make believe work. For example, a long time ago, during a previous firm's crunch time, we had the CTO sit and write code. The guy could write code but he was also not as familiar with the code base and it seemed like there were better things he could do with his time than make it seem like he was out there doing his best with the troops.

Having the CTO come in when he doesn't have to seems fake, and might be bad employee relations.

But having the CTO go golfing and spend time with his family while he urges employees work weekends is definitely bad employee relations.
