Leadership is not just a matter of prestige to the position held.
Not just a position or how much salary earned, nor a mere intellectual knowledge is high. Leadership is a real action, and more are the result of a long process of change and development (Developmental Process) character or an internal transformation in a person.
When someone finds a vision and mission of his life, forming a solid character, and when every utterance and the action began to give effect to the environment, and its presence encourages a change in its organization, that's when someone is born into a true leader. So the leader is not just a title or position that is given from the outside but something that grows and develops from one's self. Every person has the capacity to become leaders, either for himself, his family, work environment, as well as for social environment and even for his country.
Sunday, 06 May 2007. School Student Council Student IAIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya organized the event with the theme "Building Characters and Developing Leadership Skills" with Kresnayana Yahya as a speaker (Trainer) it. Lecturer Ten November Surabaya Institute of Technology (Indonesia) describes the Basic Leadership (Basic of Leadership) and all aspects associated with leadership. It is unfortunate, because of time constraints, not all the material that he is ready to be submitted entirely in this event. However, from some of the material he had to say enough to make us understand about the basic leadership.
Leadership, demanded a transformation of the (heart) and change a person's character. To become a true leader capable of achieving success takes more than just have the intellectual ability of the leadership. There should be a balance between intellectual ability to ownership of personal character that is well built from quality development of emotional and spiritual capabilities. This is where the importance of character and integrity of a leader to be accepted by the people or groups they lead. A true leader is always looking for new alternatives, develop problem becomes a challenge, to analyze a condition (SWOT: Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Treath) and find creative solutions, value innovation and daring to try new things is difficult, and a leader must also think divergent, that is to think ahead, have a clear vision and mission, has a global view, always looking for solutions
and possibilities that exist (Possible Answer). Because leaders can be said is a master of possibilities, and salesmen of purpose.
Indeed, a leader must have credibility and capability, (honesty, knowledge, skills, frame of mind etc,) as a true leader is one of encouragement (Encouvager), a motivator, inspiration, and Maximizer. "But most importantly, a leader must have the humility," explained Kresnayana. Because a leader who often favor themselves, are generally more frequent falls. Too often, a true leader is not known "existence" by those they lead, even when the mission or task is completed, all team members will say that they do it themselves. The concept of such thoughts may not be accepted by conventional leaders who actually expect respect and praise (Honor and Prise) of those they lead. So true leadership is leadership that is based on humility (Humble).
A leader (leader) must also have a Job Dimension, such as perseverance, initiative, independence, and being "smart" field. A true leader would have the desire to build and expand their lead. In other words, helping others prepare themselves for their future (Enabler). As John Maxwell's opinion, that the success of a leader is very dependent of the ability to build the people around him, because the success of an organization depends heavily on human resource potential within the organization (Maxwell, Developing the Leaders Around You; 200). "True leaders are leaders who will listen. Listening to the needs, dreams and expectations of those they lead. Because one of the mistakes of a leader is not listening to subordinates (who presided), and only just imitating his boss, "added Kresnayana. Look at your boss as a partner in developing the self. Discuss the topic with her development and Establish a mutually beneficial agreement regarding the expectations and roles, but do not ever forget what a leader's subordinates desire. Leadership does not depend on superior greatness, compassion and mere loyalty, nor is it because of the loyal followers of course.
Next Kresnayana explains, a leader is not enough just to have a heart or character, but also must have a series of "methods" of leadership in order to become effective leaders. Lots of leaders who have character and integrity of a leader, but when it became a formal leader, it is less effective because they do not have a good method. There are some important things in the methods of leadership are:
a. Those who have formal authority to act in accordance with the values of participatory.
b. Effective leadership begins with a clear vision and mission (frame of mind).
Vision, is a power or the power to make up changes. Without vision, the leadership has no meaning at all. Just as a journalist had been skeptical for the medium continues to live. This vision that drives an organization continues to grow and learn, and grow in maintaining the survival that can last up to several generations. Finzel makes the term SMART, namely how to set goals in order to avoid themselves become victims of mistakes in leadership. The aim must meet specific criteria (Specific), Measureable (Measured), Attainable (can be reached), Relevant (Relevant), and Trackable (Can be traced).
a. An effective leader is one who is very responsive. It means he is always responsive to any problems, needs, hopes and dreams of those they lead. In addition, always active and proactive in finding solutions to any problems or challenges facing the organization.
b. An effective leader is a coach and companion for those who lead (Performance Couch). It means he has the ability to inspire, encourage and "enabling" of his men in the planning and conduct activities on the ground.
And finally, why do we follow the leader? Course because there is a sense of "trust" and the existence of a conviction against a leader (who leads). Therefore, let not time someone did something "not feasible", because it would eliminate the beliefs of others against him. A trust expensive. Leaders who succeed are the people who have integrity, be able to control himself, able to cooperate with others, open, able to accept criticism, humble, able to understand people well, have a high spirituality and always seek the best for themselves and their people other. And one more thing, to achieve satisfactory results, we should not trapped in our own virtues. Humility is the key to end well and handed the torch of leadership to replace us. Be the Best!
