in the election of Governor of Jakarta - the Capital City of Indonesia, September 2012, and was sworn as governor in October 2012. Under conditions of a nation that has been
very rare example of the value that
should be a role model, then Jokowi is a person who exists as a contemporary
leader today.
January 9, 2012 News Tribune reported
that Jokowi elected as mayor of the World's Third Best by "The City Mayors
Foundation" as institutions / foundations thinkers about urban problems,
through election by the World Mayor Project 2012 that has been collecting and
assessing candidates for mayor best in the world. Awards such as this should give pride to the
people of Indonesia, where a citizens whose position outside the euro area are
included in the category of best mayor in the world.
Performance
As a Basic Assessment.
What kind of performance are used as benchmarks in evaluating candidates
for the award like that? It's good to know to study materials so that in times of future performance leadership at any level of government in the region in this
hemisphere, mainly in Indonesia for the better.
Jokowi ranked as the world's third-best mayor, according to the official
website explanation World Mayor Project 2012 as executive assessments, the first pointer Jokowi has made the
city of Surakarta in the administration of a city whose condition is laden with
problems of crime, the city turned into a center of art and culture. Which then
many interesting international tourists coming to Indonesia or city. The second pointer, he is the most
honest politician, is not corrupt, and campaigned against corruption. Both of
these pointers made Jokowi awarded worldwide level.

That's a bit of an overview of the performance of the three award
recipients as the World's Best Mayor.
It should be a lesson learned.
What Jokowi itself felt heartened by the judgment in the category of
best mayor of the world? Such assessments Jokowi feel mediocre, because the
pattern of his views more obsessed with the option to continue working for the
people, because he felt the people who judge him. Jokowi said : "I have never worked with
the award, but if given, be grateful."
That's a characteristic that is
reflected in the personality Jokowi.
A glimpse of the events described above, we should see, and we learned a
lesson. Have time for our nation, more particularly the young generation as
future leaders of future generations, not to be lulled by the conditions experienced by
the nation today. Should be on their conscience instilled a desire or intention
to revive the values that have long faced devotion among our nation. Imitate exemplary leaders,
such as the example figure Jokowi, contemporary leaders of the nation in the
face of conditions that had not been forthcoming about the name
change.
Conversely, if because of the scarcity of role models or leaders should
emulate, the "present value of the example comes from below", and not
waiting for the arrival of the first. This method as well as shortcuts to
accelerate the regeneration process. Rouse the nation from behind the work
culture through the hands of the younger generation. Through its mission, take
steps to repair the nation's mentality and performance, as well as
That's the lesson to be learned from the news item on "Jokowi
