b) Outstanding capacity for management and administration, sometimes bordering on harshness or ruthlessness.

h) Normally charitable by nature, specially in giving monetary help or manpower support to any political party, politician, political or social cause.

i) Bold and courageous relating to matters mentioned in (g) and (h) above.
