Female leaders are more oriented toward real and long-lasting results of their policies.

I ran for president because I wanted to help Lithuania and its people during a difficult time. My country was on the very edge of an economic crisis, and people were disappointed by the economic situation and the political elite. We all needed change and motivation to consolidate our efforts in order to overcome the difficulties.

If you need to pursue your interests, do not expect anyone else to do it for you.

I never had ambition to become president of the state or to accomplish more than men.

There are many examples of female leaders who are not afraid to take responsibility and openly face the challenges in the worst situations.

I want to use my position of influence to change the laws of the land to the benefit of the women of Trinidad and Tobago, divide the economic pie more evenly and appoint more women to positions within the government.

During conflicts and tense situations, women often work in a more collaborative way, include a larger variety of viewpoints, and function more frequently outside traditional hierarchical means. Women leaders often take a consolidated and reconciliatory position in the society.
