Jusuf Kalla, a successful businessman and Golkar cadres who actually fluttering in the reform
Muhammad Jusuf Kalla was born in Wattampone, Bone regency, South Sulawesi, May 15,
1942. He graduated from the Faculty of Economics, University of Hasanuddin Makassar

In October 2004 became Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. Susilo Bambang

sworn in as President 6th and M. Jusuf Kalla as Vice President 10th. The pair became the
President and Vice President who was first elected directly.

DR. (HC) Jusuf Kalla, or better known as JK is a figure of a hard worker and is widely
known not only in the country but also in foreign countries. He is a son of Indonesia who
have the talent plenary. He is a businessman, politicians, activists, former Vice President,
Ambassador Park, Chairman of PMI, the peacemaker, he is also the father of the household
and the grandmother for her grandchildren. Clearly, JK are thinkers, workers, and search
solutions.

2
He was not the only son of Bone, son of Sulawesi, South Sulawesi son, but we agreed he was
the son of the country's best. JK is one of the sons of Indonesia that has been instrumental in
the development of infrastructure and superstructure of the nation. He is widely known by
smart thinking and fast action. When he assumed the position of Vice President, not least the
small pro-people policies that had been done, he always sat together with the grass roots to
seek solutions to the problems being faced.

He has received many Dr. Honoris Causa (HC) from prominent universities, such as UB
(2011), University of Indonesia (2011), Hasanuddin University (2011), Soka University,
Japan (2009) and the University of Malaya, Malaysia (2007). He also received an award from
Thailand when he visited Cambodia on its own initiative to realize harmony in southern
Thailand. He is worthy of the prestigious award chosen people of the world, namely the
"Nobel Prize" in the field of humanitarian and peace.

Each task in hand can be completed properly and quickly, such as when he became the
initiator of peace in Aceh, Ambon, and Poso. When he sat down at the negotiating table, and
there is a deadlock, he quickly found a way out of these problems. With his success to realize
harmony in Aceh, people gave him the title of peacemaker, and not a few have found success
in reconciling RI and GAM is an invention (discovery). Juha Christensen, a facilitator of
negotiations Helsinki gave the nickname to JK as a potential Asian figure solve regional
conflicts.

Long before he was to take part in the government, political, social, cultural, humanitarian,
and peace for the community warring, he has long been poor across the business world, so
that knowledge and insight into the economy to deliver he earned the title of Doctor Honoris
Causa by the theories of thought and practice in the business world, namely Kallanomics,
which proved efficacious fixing a number of aspects of national life, both when he served as
Vice President and after he falls into the realm of humanity as a commitment to rebuild the
country.

Kallanomic is not a new economic theory, he rather an applied economics

"living". Kallanomic can be read and heard directly from any 'economic rationale' Former
Vice President Jusuf Kalla, was the application can also be traced to economic policies and
business Jusuf Kalla (JK), both during his tenure as Vice President and was not
served. Strategic thoughts and ideas - ideas strengthen the economy building real, confident
power of the nation itself with the principles of entrepreneurship and businesses that
encourage poverty alleviation, improvement of well-being, and care about the progress of the
nation.

JK is one of the six million population of South Sulawesi, and one of Indonesia's 240 million
people who are committed to building and mensejahaterahkan all the people of Indonesia. He
was someone who was able to change the world (Suryopranoto in They Talk JK, 2009).

Strategic Leadership Analysis

Leaders guide the achievement of the strategic vision to lead his organization achievement of
policy and strategy, build consensus together, find and allocate resources, inculcate the
culture of the organization and analyze the environmental organization. They led his men to
make himself as an example in order to build the organization to be more effective, fostering
future leaders, encouraging his men, seeking opportunities in order to achieve its
organizational objectives and the balance between personal needs and needs as a
professional.

JK as a strategic leader in Indonesia guide the achievement of the vision for the future for
Indonesia to be more advanced and respectable. He was respected and revered by friend and
foe. He has inspired many people, including political opponents when he was still active in
the political theater. He is a leader who considers the problem as the solution (see the
problem as an answer).

Leading the attainment of the policy and strategy

When JK served as Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare. Shortly after taking office
July 19, 2001, he said that the purpose of our nation and state is the welfare of the people
(People's Welfare). However, he said, do not always explain the People's Welfare in the
context of disasters: earthquakes, landslides, floods and displacement. Welfare he meant,
much broader than that, namely establishing the ideals of the nation that is geared towards
people's welfare as a whole.

JK figure is thought capable of leading structuralists emphasize that economic nationalism

and the growth of the national bourgeoisie. Thought JK about politics gathered from various
media covering politics first and economy, democratic reform era inefficient, bureaucratic
less effective and efficient, the number of parties too numerous and fragmented, imbalance of
the role and functions of state institutions, central and local relations are ambiguous ,
development versus corruption. Some JK economic policies that favor the people, such as the
energy sector diversification. It does surprise is the conversion of fuel oil (BBM) of kerosene
to gas. JK also instituted policies to coal energy conversion. Not to mention in terms of trans-
way and infrastructure construction, the concept of flats for the poor and so forth. Moreover,
Kalla did not hesitate to thrust demands for national entrepreneurs involved in various
development projects and encourage the use of domestic products massively. Direction of
thought Kallanomics is independence of the nation, both politically and economically.

4
Build consensus together

Politically JK is also known not only able to communicate with friends separtainya. He can
be accepted in a variety of interest groups. He was not a sectarian politician. JK a politician
and statesman.

What is done with thought and policy JK maintain the relationship between the government
and the House of Representatives, one of them with seats seize the leadership of the Golkar
Party is the right step maintaining government relations with the Parliament so that the term
is not an obstacle.

Search for and allocate resources

As the government plans to build an airport with foreign aid, for example, JK balked. He
firmly stated that Indonesian human resources able to build it independently. As a result, it
now appears the Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar.

Another example, when he met Joe Biden at Washington, February 2009. US Vice President
was told JK, "What can we do to help your country?" JK said, "Indeed we (Indonesia) who
offered to help." For a very pragmatic JK in looking at the issue of how the US can help
when they have not recovered from the financial crisis.

Inculcate the culture of the organization

Since becoming Minister (Minister of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Welfare 1999-
2000 period 2001-2004) JK already pointed out and emphasized in the work environment so
that all the forces of life clean of corruption and do not ever commercialize office or other
crimes against the state. If it happens, he is a leader at all will not tolerate.

JK provide an example and encourage staff members to create an atmosphere conducive to

the life of national solidarity in the country's situation is still difficult. According to him, it is
not wise to encourage officers trapped in the needs of high taste. Anyway, the level and
lifestyle luxuries should be reduced, in order to create a sense of solidarity in the nation.

Meanwhile, for the more capable and-income, JK wise enough to react to it. According to
him, for they are, please enjoy extra comfortable life, but perhaps it is better if they do not
really make much of his lifestyle, so as not to reveal the abyss and jealousy are too
conspicuous.

5
Analyzing the environmental organization

JK feel confident that the bold plunge, talk to the community, the issue of what are to be
found the answer. With that conviction, he could persuade the two hostile groups in Ambon
to sit in one table in the city of Malino.

Make himself as an example in order to build the organization to be more effective

Concerns over the life of this nation's most people, so really felt. So, JK reject luxuries in his
office. In fact, as a businessman belonging to a conglomerate, he deserves and is entitled to
live anywhere posh. But, it did not.

More interestingly, that in terms of income (salary), as long as a state official, it is precisely
he who is always "nombok". Evidently, every month, especially since when it became
Welfare Minister, JK always asking for funds to the company to finance its requirements in
order to support their work as public officials (Kusnaedi, p 68. 2009). Such evidence, it seems
enough to illustrate that for JK, position is the mandate and to provide the highest service in
the life of nation and state.

Leaders like Jusuf Kalla to run the government without hesitation, dare to take risks and
maintain the harmony of all components of the nation. Leaders who dared to show the right
way and dare to take risks for his actions is not easy to come by. Indonesia also need leaders
who are willing to take the policy, whether popular or unpopular. This was again
demonstrated by Jusuf Kalla.

A Jusuf Kalla wrestle and give examples to be optimistic in the midst of a crisis that affects
the nation's optimism. Jusuf Kalla trigger an idea, brighten, do, offer alternatives, all of which
are intended for the progress of the nation. Jusuf Kalla is rated as one of the few state
officials were not lost after a succession What is shown Jusuf Kalla was able to keep the
flame of optimism nation increasingly dim. The idea is great, real action, and its influence is
able to inspire and be a reference for the Indonesian nation.

Fostering future leaders,

JK pave the history that the Vice President is not just a spare tire or a complement to the
national leadership. This attitude is not sticking solely as a form of political bargaining power
at the time of the Golkar Party which he led. But also the accumulation of JK long experience
in the business world that make up the character of independence. So this is a way of JK in
fostering future leaders by changing the old paradigm that is less precise.

6
during his lifetime, Jusuf Kalla present himself as a transformational leader who is able to
bring the organization to a new destination that is larger and has never been achieved before
with the exclusion of interest / her personal circumstances.

During his leadership in government, Jusuf Kalla has some thoughts which emphasized that
peace can not be achieved without the existence of a direct dialogue between stakeholders for
peace need to compromise.

In addition, the vice president also carries the entrepreneur or entrepreneurial

spirit. According to the younger generation should be able to build creativity in developing
the creative economy through the way of thinking, creativity and the ability to create
something.

Meanwhile Jusuf Kalla stated that the leaders do not just make a decision that favored people,
it's called the coordinator is not the leader. Leaders must take responsibility although
sometimes there is bitter decisions to be taken.

Jusuf Kalla emphasis on the type of leader who takes decisions quickly and are very
pragmatic pertimbangannnya in determining a decision. Attitudes like that that make it
dubbed as Man of Action and Risk Taker.

Seek opportunities in order to achieve its organizational objectives

Elected as Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) for example, JK conjure it into a
modern institution. In his hands, PMI increasingly responsive in responding to disasters.She
magic PMI vehicles such as military tanks have been equipped with medical equipment. Not
only that, the perception that the PMI only place people look for blood, he expanded into the
arena actualization of the value of mutual help. Extending PMI become agents of peace in the
world is no exception.

There are many examples of readiness in finding a solution that is intended solely to resolve
the issue. Among other things the policy conversion of kerosene to gas. At that time the
policy of fierce controversy. Because consumers already be familiar with kerosene. Now the
result, people are accustomed to using gas.

Striking a balance between their personal needs and needs as a professional.

At the time of President Megawati Sukarnoputri (2001-2004) Jusuf Kalla been occupying the
office of Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare. Jusuf Kalla later resigned as
Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare before going forward as a candidate for vice
president, accompanied the presidential candidate Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. He would

7
like to thank President Megawati who gave him the belief holds that office. As long served as
Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare, Jusuf Kalla has done its job well.

Conclusion
Many role models can we sample from the Vice President of the 10th. Even long before JK
became public official, his work as a businessman from East Indonesia with the positive build
the region to prosperity, at least catch up with the western region.

When I became minister in the era of Gus Dur and Megawati's Indonesian people began to
know him as a figure of courageous, tough and definitely always have a solution for the
country. His experience became a businessman and a politician for more than three decades is
an important factor that led him to become a prominent statesman respected.

JK known figure of smart intellectually, even bears seven honorary doctorates from various
universities both at home and abroad. Therefore the count-count to provide a way out already
through perthitungan quickly and carefully. So there is no problem of protracted if he had
intervened.

All the actions oriented to the welfare of the people. As a successful entrepreneur from a
family with strong religious upbringing makes generous figure that is far from corruption.He
has experience with the mental attitude and a very mature. There is rarely such as JK leaders
who have the courage in any decision-making, although it should not be popular.

Prominent leaders, political as well economist Jusuf Kalla (JK), view of the economy is quite
significant and the public remember him as a man "Kallanomic". When the cold hands of the
2008 economic crisis mengahantam this nation, terobosannnya able to extinguish the fire at
the time the nation's economy so that it is called the architect of the economic recovery. JK is
also a figure considered 'clean' because it can be acceptable to all parties. JK also be referred
to as the nation that is able to unite the nationalist because of his skill in Poso, Ambon and
Aceh current social conflict.

Suggestion
Rarely optimistic figures Jusuf Kalla. Most words are very reassuring Indonesia. On one
occasion he said, "No problem can not be solved nation". It is a phrase that implies pride of
Indonesia and optimism.

8
Had the Indonesian nation is likened to the dismay of those diseased anemia (lack of blood),
Jusuf Kalla who inject fresh blood into many Indonesian people, to revive a sense of
optimism that has been lost. We need a leader like this. Had Jusuf Kalla can no longer be
president or vice president, let him be the leader of this country. Perhaps the post of adviser to
President suitable for a Jusuf Kalla. Indonesian entrepreneur or leader. Too bad if we wasted
energy and power of an Jusuf Kalla.
