Leadership Mosaics Across Indonesia

Book excerpt: Leadership Mosaics Across Indonesia is part of the nine research reports, put together by Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI), each covering an Asian country. These reports develop insights and solutions that help companies in Asia to build global leaders. Leadership Mosaics Across Indonesia is HCLI’s focus on Indonesia. Comprising two key sections, the first describes the prevalent characteristics that Indonesian business leaders tend to display and how they may need to adapt for the future. The second section turns the spotlight on Indonesia’s emerging leaders, and how they can make the next leap to become global leaders. As a practical takeaway, this report also includes a cheat sheet to help new foreign leaders in Indonesia hit the ground running. Leadership Mosaics Across Indonesia would not be possible without the support of many contributors. HCLI expresses its sincere gratitude to the C-suit (or equivalent) leaders who gamely agreed to be interviewed. Their insights, shared through honest and in-depth conversations, were invaluable in drawing out a more intricate mosaics of Indonesia leadership, both of its present and future, and of the incumbents and the emerging leaders. As Leadership Mosaics Across Indonesia continues to weave, validate, and event challenge what we know of business leadership in Asia, HCLI hopes that it will truly help companies in Asia build global leaders.
