President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, recently lauded the Indonesian National Police (Polri) for their commendable performance in executing the MBG program, culminating in a significant corn harvest event. The presidential praise was delivered during his visit to Dusun Kedung Sari, Tuwiri Wetan Village, Merakurak District, Tuban Regency, East Java, on Saturday, May 16.
During his address, President Prabowo unveiled a unique leadership philosophy, drawing a compelling analogy between organizational success and the dynamics of a football club. He articulated that the strength of any team, or indeed any institution, inherently stems from the quality of its managers and coaches.
Emphasizing this perspective, Prabowo stated, “If it’s good, we must acknowledge it’s good. If it’s performing well, we acknowledge it’s good. And within an organization, if the organization is good, it inherently means its leaders are good. Isn’t that right? If a football team wins, then its manager is good, its coach is good, its captain is good. Isn’t that correct?” He then affirmed, “True.“
Prabowo underscored the importance of a merit-based system, advocating for deserving teams and their managers to be duly appreciated through contract extensions. Conversely, he asserted that poor performance warrants clear consequences. “Contracts are extended, aren’t they? If things aren’t working out, they’re removed. It’s simple, isn’t it? This is life, my brothers and sisters. So, don’t aspire to be a football team captain, only to lose repeatedly and still expect your contract to be continually extended. No,” the President declared, highlighting his no-nonsense approach to accountability.
The significant event saw the attendance of numerous high-ranking officials, underscoring its national importance. Among the distinguished guests were TNI Commander Agus Subiyanto, National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Cabinet Secretary Lieutenant Colonel Teddy Indra Wijaya, Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, Foreign Minister Sugiono, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono, East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa, and KSPSI President Andi Gani Nena Wea.
