Loyalty implies trustworthiness, faithfulness, devotion, fidelity, or allegiance to a cause, person, product or organization. When a leader insists on undeserved loyalty, his followers simply resort to eye service, which stretched further graduates into sycophancy. Loyalty is usually borne out of a sense of obligation especially when the beneficiary of such loyalty has done a good deed that benefitted the loyalist. The people we expect loyalty from also expect loyalty from us. It is not proper to expect loyalty from people you have no intention of being loyal to.
