Phil Cooke explores how misguided loyalty can damage an organization. Loyalty is a wonderful trait, and most leaders want their team to be loyal. But don't confuse "loyalty" for "expertise." How successful can you be when you have a loyal , but incompetent team? Understand the balance of loyalty and expertise, so you can position your organization for ultimate success.

Thanks for an interesting look at loyalty vs. competence. I would suggest having both operating equally in an employee is probably most desirable, as opposed to looking at one over the other.
