Fidelity to values

Charismatic leaders can be concerning when they prioritize self-promotion over ideas and preach rather than teach. Checking a leader's background, treatment of opponents, consistency in behavior, and how they handle criticism can reveal their true nature. It is crucial to observe whether they are kind and respectful to everyone, not just selectively. Transparency in financial matters and how questions are addressed are essential in assessing a leader's integrity. The emphasis should be on remaining loyal to principles over individuals or locations, with the utmost importance placed on maintaining fidelity to our values.
