These principles, serving as overarching criteria (strategies), such as ethical conduct, guidance, comprehensive vision, and ethics centrality, can be implemented. Beneath these overarching criteria, their behavior can be directed through strategies based on insight cultivation, situational awareness, perseverance, and inspiration.
