Loyalty has long been considered a military virtue, which it can be, but it must be kept in check. Unlike other Army Values, loyalty is not a reliable guide for ethical conduct. Feelings of loyalty often compel soldiers to disregard their ethical responsibilities.
When it comes to loyalty, the challenge for Army leaders is to ensure it doesn’t grow out of control and begin to strangle more important organizational values.
In my December ARMY article, I challenge leaders to ensure that misplaced loyalties do not undermine their unit's ethical climate.
Is Loyalty Overvalued?
Think deeply. Act justly.
