DUTERTE: A Leadership Theory

by Earlie Doriman

Mayor Sarah Duterte of Davao City, Philippines

Like most Filipinos who understand and prefer hands-on, non-traditional politics, I could only agree that Davao City  Mayor Sara Duterte did the right thing at the right time – well, she only punched the sheriff, nothing-more-nothing-less. Although her actions were not the most acceptable attempt of a public official especially to the envious eyes of her rivals and to the exaggeratedly condemning society, but she has practically showed that she is not amongst those traditional political leaders who just love to appear upright and blameless before the media, and when cameras are at them.
