When teams enable dysfunctional leadership patterns

Our team has this unspoken agreement that we'll all stay late when the CEO stays late, even though half the time he's just here because he doesn't want to go home. Everyone complains about it privately but we all keep participating in this performance and I'm starting to realize I'm as complicit as anyone.
