I very much believe in values-based leadership and that the values that I believe in and try to govern by are transcendent values.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have values I believe in and certain things I stand for.
I don't value authority. I don't value the systems. I don't value patriarchal religion. I don't value the things that diminish you when you do tell the truth. So I'm not scared of the end result, and that is the biggest asset I have.
I believe in a real democratic system, with a state of law and freedom of the press. I believe in a free, open-market economy integrated with the world. And I believe in equality of opportunity. Those are my basic beliefs. On top of that, of course, I believe in some moral values.
At the end the day because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try to assess, is integrity.
What you believe, what you value, how you live, matters.
Leadership is one of the things I really strive to excel in in my life.
My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.
I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
But the ability to articulate what you are doing, to be clear about it, and to stick to it is, I think, the essence of political leadership.
I think leadership is just something that comes really natural to me.
