RI LEADERS NEED TO MAKE CHANGES : MANAGEMENT EXPERT
London, Sept 5 (ANTARA) - Indonesian management expert Rhenald Kasali said Indonesian leaders need to make changes to improve conditions in the country, adding that it would not be an easy job.
He forwarded the view at an open discussion themed "To Respond to Changes" at Indonesian Embassy in London on Thursday.
He said paradoxes would often happen in making changes as the attitude of the leaders also needed to be changed, adding that up until now many Indonesian leaders were not carrying out their tasks in the best ways possible.
Kasali mentioned the unsuccesful Visit Indonesia Year 2008 program as an example of the result of lack of inter-departmental coordination.
"A joint decree is not enough," Kasali said, adding each and every program needed to be watched closely.
"On the other hand, everything has changed, and we are forced to adapt to the changes that have happened. For ages, people have only looked at the results instead of at the processes."
"Unfortunately, only some people notice," said the expert.
Rhenald Kasali admitted to ANTARA correspondent in London that changes always become a problem for Indonesia especially because there was little working coordination.
The changes, nevertheless, can bring the nation to a better situation, just like the economic changes that resulted in a 6.5- percent economic growth.
In reality, Kasali added, development and changes happen in almost every aspect, and people keep on looking at the changes that had happened from another point of view -- political and economic -- which was always in contradiction with reality.
"At this moment, the ecomony has changed from the physical to the digital era," Kasali said, adding that nowadays almost everything was done through digital devices.
Changes in the education sector would be quite difficult to make with the growing number of intellectual people having power who felt great about themselves.
"It is time for academicians to see the change that have happened around the world," he said.
Rhenald Kasali is visiting the United Kingdom also explore the possibility of cooperation with several universities -- especially in through student exchanges.
