Loyalty.
Such an emotionally powerful and misunderstood virtue.
Loyalty to a person or people is important. Think your spouse, your work team.
Loyalty to principles does indeed trump (that word again) loyalty to people. But the pull to just belong can be too much for many.
And if your principle is to be loyal to a person anyway…🤔
When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.
If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Our highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.
No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.
