Hello steemians, i just want to share how offence lead to disloyalty and the stages involve.
Disloyalty doesn’t just happen overnight. Becoming
disloyal is a process! Most people are unaware of the fact
that they are becoming disloyal. Many leaders do not even
notice disloyalty in their associates. I am
going to outline the stages a person goes through when he
is gradually changing.
In learning to Detect Disloyalty there are two reasons why you must know these stages
of disloyalty.
1.It will help you to identify and kill any such tendency within you.
2.It will help you to detect disloyalty in any person you work with.
First Stage
OFFENCE
The first stage of disloyalty is offence. We humans are not perfect and we often do get offended, but not allowing the offence progress to another level which will lead to disloyalty is very important.
Second Stage
INDEPENDENT
The independent stage is so subtle that most people do
not recognize it for what it actually is – disloyalty. When
a person belonging to a group or company and develops an independent attitude, he sort of becomes autonomous within the group. The rules of the organization no
longer control him. Such a person is still a part of the
organization but does what he wants to do, in spite of contrary
instructions. Because Ghana is independent of the USA, whenever
there is an American holiday it has no bearing on Ghana.
Ghana and America are two countries in the same world,
but independent of each other. When Ghana declares a
holiday, America takes no notice of it because America is
independent of Ghana.
Third Stage
PASSIVITY
After being offended by one thing or the other, people
become passive.
When a person is in the passive stage of the disloyalty
process he does not involve himself in much. He sits and
watches unconcerned and uninvolved.
Passivity is dangerous because you move rapidly into
the critical stage of disloyalty.
Forth Stage
THE CRITICAL STAGE
A disloyal person is not passive forever; he progresses
into the next step of being critical. This is the stage of
noticing and magnifying faults.
Fifth Stage
THE POLITICAL STAGE
When a person becomes political, he tries to involve
others in his ideas and philosophies. Politicians operate
on the power of people’s opinions. A person is in the political stage of
disloyalty, has three favorite phrases:
· A lot of people are saying “so-and-so”.
· Everybody is saying “so-and-so”.
· Many people are saying “so-and-so”.
meanwhile that’s actually what the person thinks.
Sixth Stage
DECEPTION
One thing that I am sure about is that people who rebel
are grossly deceived. If they were not deceived they would
not do some of the things they did. Most people who have
rebelled have ended up in destruction.
Seventh Stage
OPEN REBELLION
This is the stage where deceived disloyal fellow fight
openly against authority. This open fight comes about
because of the confidence the rebel develops over the
months and years. He gains psychological support by
gaining the support of some of the people he talked to during the political stage.
Eighth Stage
EXECUTION
The end of all rebels is one and the same – execution.
Rebellion is an essentially evil thing. The Bible teaches
us that rebellion is as witchcraft.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…
1 Samuel 15:23
Offences need come, when they do the best thing to do is to forgive because the end of being disloyal is destructive.
