On his favorite leadership principle:

“Lead by example: Leading from the front entails tackling the most demanding challenges head-on, being willing to put in the extra effort to ensure tasks are completed successfully, and never assigning a task you wouldn't undertake yourself. This principle underscores my approach to leadership, both in the military and in the civilian sector, fostering a culture of accountability and mutual respect.”
