Democracy is considered as the best form of government, but it can only succeed, if we value principles like openness, transparency and honesty.
Openness strengthens the democracy and promotes efficiency and effectiveness in the government.
Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their government is doing.
Honesty demands that one should remain true to oneself and uphold his/her values even in the face of temptation. Honesty helps to build strong personal character.
Principle-centered Leaders are essential for nation building. Stephen Covey has given eight characteristics of the Principal-centred Leader in his best seller book Principle Centred Leadership.

2.Continually learning
3.Radiate positive energy
4.Lead balance life
5.See life as an adventure
6.Believe in other people
7.Collaborative & Synergistic
8.Exercise for self-renewal
I advocate Principle Centred Leadership.
