Leadership and loyalty go hand-in-hand. Leaders who fail to understand this won't endure the test of time.  All great leaders share many common traits, but they have one thing in common - they know how to earn the loyalty of those they lead. They also recognize that loyalty is a two-way street.  The simple rule is that you will not receive what you will not give. Give loyalty, get loyalty. One of the best traits of a chapter leader is having the back of each of their chapter members.  

Think loyalty is dead?  Not so.  Loyalty is not something people talk about much, but it is a vital quality.  You want your chapter members to be with you, win or lose.  As a leader, loyalty is not something you can just gain at the drop of a hat. 

 From an article on Entrepreneur site , below are ways in which the best leaders inspire

 loyalty.

TRUST -Great leaders give their trust to others without reservation. LEADING BY EXAMPLE - A leader is not "above" any work that needs to be done. The best leaders are right there in the trenches when called for.  If you are too good to get your hands dirty with your chapter members, they will see their part in chapter projects as menial and unimportant.   OPENNESS AND HONESTY - Nothing inspires loyalty more than being honest. Open communication does two things:  It creates confidence and trust and also helps create a feeling of inclusion.
