Page 198 , loyalty is important but it cannot supersede what is best for the team and the business. Great leaders must sometimes make hard decisions.

In the book

And don't romanticize failure either — most businesses that fail do so for more than one reason, and failure is more overrated than the motivational posters claim; learn from it, but don't worship it. Loyalty in the wrong place. Loyalty is a beautiful thing, but it cannot supersede what is best for the team and the business; great leaders sometimes have to make the hard call anyway. And empathy — my own greatest edge — has a shadow: it can be used manipulatively, which I have worked hard my whole life to avoid, and it can hand you painful information you then have to decide what to do with. — Leadership & Business (Leadership/Business)
