Preferred term

obedience  

Definition(s)

  • Obedience can be extremely functional—particularly in emergencies and high-stress crisis situations (e.g., a battle, a police raid, a space shuttle, a hospital emergency room). Under these circumstances, it really helps to have someone in authority take the lead and issue commands that are unquestioningly obeyed. [Source: Encyclopedia of Leadership; Obedience]
