In this example the hourly rate of a CEO who makes $750k is $375 dollars per hour. For instance, rather than leveraging down to the $100K talent in the example above, if you drive down further to let’s say a $30k individual, you increase your organizational leverage factor by almost another 30%.

There are some organizations, business, and leaders who have an expectation that loyalty is a blind loyalty and that it does not preclude any behavioral example from them. In addition, standing with someone as a person even if they do something stupid is, in my view, an example of loyalty. In this case it's expensive to be loyal.
