organizational terrorist

An organizational terrorist is a person or subordinate who asks tough questions to their boss and brings out the greater greatness of the individuals around them, but the current chief officers don’t like being questioned or challenged so they label these people and try to segregate them to deter promotion within the organization and slander the person.
There was a Captain that is on the rise to become a chief officer, he used a common sense approach and all his employees loved him. When he would challenge the union thugs or chief officers with new ideas, challenging questions or question the chief officer decisions they hated his common sense approach. When a deputy chief was training captain candidates he referred to the beloved Captain as an ORGANIZATIONAL TERRORIST because that captain was not a "yes" man, when in fact that chief and his wine club are the organizational terrorist.
