In my view, leadership and loyalty cannot be separated. Loyalty is the result of having a sense of integrity. I realize that one can be loyal to the wrong persons or things. But when it comes to leadership, the leader is loyal to those for whom he is accountable. He is loyal to an ideal. He is loyal to the goals and objectives he deems to be proper. He is loyal to those above him as well as his subordinates. He is loyal. That is why he is a leader. A true leader is not afraid to have the attitude of a servant, because he realizes that he is providing a service to many. Although he often has one, a true leader does not need a title. He is not necessarily a "manager," he is a leader. The following quote sums up this view.
"Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things." Peter Drucker
