JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) 10th and 12th of the Republic of Indonesia Jusuf Kalla (JK) stated that a leader must put forward a patient attitude rather than show an emotional side when facing a problem. This was conveyed by JK in a forum entitled "National and Entrepreneurship Dialogue" in Surabaya, East Java, Wednesday 10 January. "What do you think the state is led by someone who likes to be angry? What if he argues with other heads of state?" said JK. He even likened a leader worthy of a driver who had to prioritize patience in traffic. Because, if not, it could harm the passengers. "If you choose a driver, obviously who knows the direction, does not like to get angry. If you get angry, you can crash later," he said.

Furthermore, said JK, a leader, in this case is the figure of a leader and state official if you cannot control his emotions, then a big impact can be accepted by the people. Therefore, he called his crucial acting, a leader and state officials must be able to have a calm attitude and put forward "cold thinking" when responding to or solving problems. "Leaders must be calm, have ideas, not emotional, because there are many problems of this nation, if our leader is not calm, of course not good. Leaders should not be emotional," he said.Jusuf Kalla also suggested that candidates for heads of state should imitate and emulate the leadership properties of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. "It must be a mandate, tabligh, at best who is the best, most trustworthy, that's the grip. Because we have to follow the knowledge of the Prophetullah SAW," he said. As is well known, before visiting the forum entitled "National Dialogue and Entrepreneurship", Jusuf Kalla first followed the agenda of "Consolidation of Akbar Anies & Muhaimin AMIN East Java" at DBL Arena Surabaya. JK's arrival is only a guest of invitation. This was conveyed directly by the candidate for vice president number 1 Muhaimin Iskandar. Cak Imin conveyed that the arrival of Jusuf Kalla was not part of the campaign team or the National Team (Timnas) "AMIN" winning. "He could not give his speech because he was not a campaigner," said Cak Imin.
