CHAPTER III
THE RECENT IDEAL INDONESIAN LEADERIII
Leadership is one of the most salient aspects of the organizational context. However, defining leadership has been challenging. The following sections discuss several important aspects of leadership including a description of what leadership is and a description of several popular theories and styles of leadership. This page also dives into topics such as the role of emotions and vision, as well leadership effectiveness and performance.
Leadership has been described as the “process of social influence in which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task” [1]. A definition more inclusive of followers comes from Alan Keith of Genentech who said "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen." [2] Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits [3], situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values [4], charisma, and intelligence among others. (Wikipedia)
In our opinion a leader is one who has a capacity and capability to lead. It may lead a group of people or even ownself. It is not easy to be a leader. A leader should have leadership skills and qualities expected and needed by their followers. The success of a leader is depend on his leadership styles. Aim to some theories:
Leaders are dealers in hope (Napoleon Bonaparte, Paulus Winarto; The Leadership Wisdom).
Everything rises and falls on leaderships (Dr. John C Maxwell; Paulus Winarto; The Leadership Wisdom)
Leadership is an influence (J. Oswald Sanders; Spiritual Leadership; Paulus Winarto; Leadership wisdom
Leadership combines of character and strategy, but if you have to choose it’s better for you willing strategy as well (general H. Norman Swargkovf; Paulus Winarto; The Leadership Wisdom)
Power
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power cottupts absolutely (Lord Acton; Paulus Winarto; The Leadership Wisdom)
Successful leaders will tend to have a high need for power, a low need for affiliation, and a high level of what he called activity inhibition (one might call it self-control). (David McClelland; Wikipedia)
Burn told a leader should have a skill to motivate its team to be effective and efficient. Communication is the base for goal achievement focusing the group on the final desired outcome or goal attainment. This leader is highly visible and uses chain of command to get the job done. (Burn, 2008; Wikipedia)
Within the context of Islam, views on the nature, scope and inheritance of leadership have played a major role in shaping sects and their history. See caliphate. (Wikipedia)
Considering of Indonesian Condition that’s described on Chapter I, that the large amount Indonesian which spread out at thousands islands separated by the seas around. Adding by the faith crisis and disapointment of the Imdonesian to their leader appear because of their leaders’ manner and behavior. They often deceive their people. It shown in the history:
And studying the theories above, seems we have to find a leader’s categories and according to some above theories. Ideal leader for Indonesian has to possess complete leadership’s skill to lead them.
