Yeah, I would go back to Churchill. Never, never, never give in and all things small and great. You know, never accept no for an answer. It takes more perseverance, now more resilience. There is pushback even with donor countries because of their voters. But it's important more than ever. It also... in a strange way, creates a bigger opportunity for private sector to step up.
And there has been that already. But when you show what, I'll just pick the private sector for example, the ability to do something good with CSR, which, you know, in many ways we were very early on, can do a number of things. One, it protects your consumers, if you will. I'll toss out one, Coca-Cola or Unilever. You want healthy consumers.

And if you don't do something for the AIDS pandemic, for example, or for COVID by washing your hands with Unilever products, you're not going to be able to protect your consumers and you want a healthy business. Number two, it gives the people that come into work every day a further reason to feel good about their work. So it improves morale and productivity.

And number three, and this was the thing I drove home all the time with the Global Business Coalition, it improves your brand. And you don't have to be altruistic. You can do it for other reasons. Just do it. And that, I think, has been the case in some countries.

situations around the world with private sector, but you cannot have a business now without having a CSR policy and something that truly makes a difference. So when you have to push back from some of the voters, et cetera, you always have to show impact. And going back to Gavi, but some of the other things that I worked on, if you show measurement And you show impact.

I think that's the best way forward.

I'll do two. Maybe I'll do three. Number one is your core, your core character and principles of being honest and emotional intelligence. And number two, get things done. Just do something. And number three, I would say, be adaptive. Now, you know, You can be adaptive on two levels. One is on the macro situation. So we're entering a world that's totally different now with AI.

Every child born now will grow up in a world of AI. So this changes everything. And you have to adapt your leadership, I believe, to that sort of change. But even more importantly than that, so I do have, you know, 20 different leadership principles. I'm happy to go through them all.
