I was watching a friend get crushed by his incompetent superior. It seemed inadvertent, unsuccessful, and painful.
Actually, incompetent was too strong a word. The superior was overmatched by his environment, and didn’t take appropriate action. I see that happening a lot.
Which got me thinking about loyalty.
There is an internal efficiency to demonstrating loyalty down the chain. One action is communicated to all subordinates, behavior improves. Loyalty down is a force multiplier.
Loyalty up is for one person, may be appreciated, often not.
Loyalty down has more impact.
