Loyalty to an organization and leaders: what do you do when you find fault in an organization?

Question

Well, to make things short, I would just like to ask. If you find fault in your organization or how the leaders would react in any situation which you think is totally wrong, what would you do? Will your loyalty make you shut up for the rest of their term? Or make a move to ask them what you think was wrong? Should leaders accept their men's point of view?

Answer 1

A true leader should always listen to those who follow them but ultimately they must do what they feel is best.

Answer 2

A leader's job is to lead, not gain consensus of the rest of the team. That said, the members of any organization, team or society do have an obligation to let their leaders know their opinions on things. The leaders then take that into consideration, but still do that the leaders think is right.

It also depends totally on the structure of the organization - some have broards of directors, some have quality teams, some have other means by which individuals or groups can express themselves and participate in the leadership to one degree or another.

Answer 3

I will give you my example. I once belonged to the NRA. I thought it was a great organization until the first election came along and they sent me a letter telling me who to vote for. While I am for the right to have guns and own several, it is not the single, most important thing in my life. Anyone that only considers one issue in an election is a radical, which made them a radical organization. So I told them what they could do with their radical organization.

Answer 4

It certainly is a test of loyalty. I would go with whatever helps me sleep at night.
