JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan inaugurated 9 high-ranking officials (echelon II) of the DKI Provincial Government. During the inauguration, Anies stated that the change of position was a process of organizational refreshment.

"Every organization, especially as big as the DKI Provincial Government, will have a rotation, mutation, task change process, according to the needs of the organization. Because we hope that what is new (inauguration) will have an impact on the organization," said Anies at DKI City Hall, Friday, February 4.

Anies advised the newly appointed official today to apply a high leadership spirit. So that the official not only has the authority, but is also recognized and followed by those he leads.

Anies' leadership is someone who has competence, integrity, and closeness. This, said Anies, can build trust in their subordinates.

"Be a leader, not just an official. The letter that you have received indicates that you have the authority. However, it is your responsibility to be recognized as a leader. So I hope that you have the authority and leadership," said Anies.

Anies also asked the nine echelon II officials to bring breakthroughs in running the DKI Provincial Government program. Given that Jakarta is still facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and several newly inaugurated officials are handling fields that are directly related to handling the pandemic.

"We also hope that you will also present various breakthroughs, especially in the health sector which is at the forefront of handling the COVID-19 pandemic, where we need breakthroughs in the health care sector, welfare sector, and the field of disaster emergencies which also require breakthroughs and collaboration with all parties," he explained.
