In this article, I question the reliability of character as something military leaders can depend upon.

This commentary examines the problem of balancing loyalty to superiors with ethical conduct. The literature on followership is explored for moral guidelines useful to those struggling between loyalty to their superiors and the need to express dissent. The analysis provides practical suggestions for those who seek to be worthy followers when faced with such dilemmas.

Good folowership does not mean blindly following every direction from an authoritative leader. Followers are not sheep.

Toxic leadership is typically only a surprise to the supervisor.
