Basuki Hadimuljono, the Head of the National Capital Authority, shared leadership inspiration while speaking at Leadership Night 2024, held by SBM ITB at The Westin Jakarta, Wednesday (11/20). Presenting material based on the book written by Rhenald Kasali, “Delivered! Process, Strategy, and Values”, which summarizes his life and leadership experiences, Basuki emphasized the importance of integrity, innovation, and teamwork as the main foundations of leadership.
With the tagline “Brave, Strong, and Artistic”, Basuki encourages every individual to improvise and find creative solutions.
“Bravery comes from integrity, strength from competence, and artistry from the courage to innovate and improvise. Effective leadership must also undergo a system of checks and balances to minimize the risk of corruption,” said Basuki.
Basuki also introduced four important pillars in leadership: programming, the power of simplicity, self-driving, and rhyme & rock n roll – speed. The Minister of Public Works and Public Housing for the 2014-2024 period believes that a good leader must carry out careful planning, focus on simple and effective solutions, have independent leadership with full responsibility, and have a work rhythm to catch up.
Leadership Night 2024 itself is an annual event that presents inspirational figures. It also is a special moment with awards for the best students, the best academic and practitioner lecturers, the best alumni, and the best education staff from the SBM ITB Jakarta Campus. Prof. Yos Sunitiyoso, The Head of the MBA Study Program SBM ITB Jakarta Campus, emphasized the importance of collaboration between academics, alumni, and industry partners to create an innovative and adaptive education ecosystem.
“We hope that the presence of national figures in this annual Leadership Night event will inspire the SBM ITB academic community to make positive changes for Indonesia. And the awards given to outstanding lecturers, students, alumni and staff are not only a form of appreciation, but also a source of inspiration for everyone to continue to innovate and support the progress of education at SBM ITB,” said Prof. Yos Sunitiyoso.
Meanwhile, Prof. Ignatius Pulung Nurprasetio, the Dean of SBM ITB, highlighted the role of SBM ITB in supporting Indonesia’s transformation through innovation and human resource development.
“The alumni’s contribution is real proof that SBM ITB not only produces competent graduates but also leaders who can bring about change,” said Prof. Pulung.
As the event’s highlight, awards were given to the best students, academic and practitioner lecturers, education staff, and alumni from the MBA SBM ITB Jakarta Campus. This award was given directly by the Dean of SBM ITB, Prof. Ignatius Pulung Nurprasetio, to appreciate their extraordinary contributions.
This event was a celebration of achievements and a moment of reflection and inspiration to continue supporting the advancement of education, innovation, and collaboration to realize the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.
