A great example of this would be carving out time in your already too busy schedule to mentor someone in your organization with great potential. For example, when we allow our people to work with boundaries instead of rules, they will find the best way to accomplish a task. mikemyatt: RT @thinkBIG_blog: Cheap always costs you mo.

In this example the hourly rate of a CEO who makes $750k is $375 dollars per hour. Therefore any items that don’t constitute $375 dollar an hour work that can be leveraged down to someone with a lower hourly rate provides positive arbitrage both in terms of cost savings and time recovered for higher and better use activities.

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.
