Definition and Core of Leadership
📌 Leadership (Kepemimpinan) encompasses the process of leading and the necessary abilities for leading.
🗣️ The core activity of leading is influencing others to perform actions aligned with the desired outcome.
👨‍🏫 In education, this is termed Educational Leadership, focusing on managing learning and teaching activities within educational institutions.

Components of an Educational Organization
🏫 An educational organization (like a school) requires several key components to function effectively:
1. Leader: Responsible for controlling and overseeing the educational process.
2. Teachers/Educators: The primary agents executing the learning and teaching interactions with students.
3. Support Staff: Provides necessary resources and maintenance (e.g., cleaning, room preparation) for learning to occur.
4. Infrastructure/Facilities: Essential physical assets like buildings and classrooms needed for instruction.
5. Budget/Funding: Money used to pay salaries and procure facilities, deemed very important for operations.
6. Stakeholders: Parties with vested interests, including parents, the government, and educational organizations like PGRI.

The Leader's Role and Power
🎯 The leader's main duty is to empower all organizational components to maximize their roles toward achieving educational objectives through teaching processes.
🔗 To ensure compliance (orders followed, prohibitions respected), the leader must possess Power (Kekuatan).
💪 Effective leadership power is a combination of Formal Power (e.g., official appointment/decree) and Personal Power (inherent positive traits like expertise, integrity, commitment).

Leadership Styles
⚖️ Leadership styles typically balance the emphasis between task execution and interpersonal harmony.
😈 An excessive focus solely on tasks, neglecting relationships, leads to an authoritarian style.
🧘‍♂️ A focus entirely on relationships without concern for task completion results in a Laissez-faire style, where the organization is left unattended.
🤝 The ideal balance between achieving tasks and building camaraderie is defined as Democratic Leadership, based on consensus and fairness.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The essence of leadership is influencing individuals to act according to organizational goals.
➡️ Formal Power (e.g., appointment letter) grants authority, but Personal Power (integrity, expertise) earns true followership.
➡️ Democratic Leadership successfully merges the requirement for task completion with the maintenance of good internal harmony within the organization.
