In the alternative - what are your boundaries? Having and maintaining healthy boundaries on what you will and will not accept in terms of conduct and performance makes determining the limits of your loyalty a lot easier to discern.

Very true, Tim. Your boundaries you set up can also be a strength or a weakness.

Is that the only inverse that comes to mind?

I love this article and have had the same conversation with a few leaders who are "loyal to a fault", as they say. However, I believe there is a significant difference between loyalty and fear of conflict. Loyalty is saying to somebody "You are not bringing the value I need, but I will continue to keep you around as long as you x, y and z." Fear of conflict is a leader who doesn't address a situation because they feel they owe something to the employee.

Either way, great piece. I'm going to push this out on my social channels shortly.
