- Must not cause difficulties, annoyances, extortion, or prolong the processing time of tasks for agencies, organizations, and citizens; must not be indifferent, unresponsive, or irresponsible to the difficulties and grievances of the citizens.

- Leaders who are officials and public employees must be impartial and objective in utilizing and assessing staff under their management; must not abuse their work positions to appoint acquaintances; should proactively resign from their positions when realizing their own limitations in capacity and reputation.
