Place order and control above idealism when faced with instability.

Prioritize loyalty to the state and the institution over personal popularity.

Maintain personal reserve and secrecy, revealing little of one's private life or inner motives.

View constitutional and political transitions as matters to be managed from above rather than left entirely to mass politics.

Believe that national unity must be protected even when it requires firm coercive measures.

Prefer direct action and command responsibility over slow, compromise-driven politics.
