Leadership Communications

Leadership involves communications and learning. And these are the two areas in which John specializes. By combining an extensive background in business communications with training and management development, John helps corporate clients develop their communications, learning, and leadership skills.

Communication for a leader becomes the act of making authenticity transparent. You achieve this transparency in three ways: speaking, listening, and learning. The essence of leadership communication boils down to the three-step cycle that is in perpetual motion. Not only is the cycle always moving, you will find yourself in any one of the steps at any given time with any given person. At some point you will be speaking to a colleague. At another time you will be listening to a group. And at yet another time you will be in your office or in your home thinking about what you heard and trying to make sense of it.

John's approach to communications and leadership is straightforward: design the learning objectives around strategic goals, then apply effective communications principles to make the learning exciting and effective. For the client, the learning should fulfill corporate objectives. For the individual, the learning should engage participants in ways that motivate them to want to know more.

His leadership work centers on how leaders can use their communications to build trust and drive results. By focusing on the concept of personal leadership which he defines as moving from the I can to the I will , John shows how leaders can use their communications to guide and inspire their people through every phase of the leadership process, from character and vision through planning, coaching, motivation and supervision.

Problematika Plagiat Skripsi, Thesis dan Disertasi

Sebetulnya setelah membaca judul diatas saya pingin sekali punya angan-angan membuat sistem informasi plagiat...selain memang sebelumnya para pendidik meng-edukasi para mahasiswa/i nya tentunya harus punya tools minimal untuk mengurangi resiko itu.

Pasti semua sepakat namun tidak sedikit yang kontra, setelah membaca literatur dari sana sini , contoh :

saya jadi lebih mengerti akan kualitas / output yang berkembang nantinya... tapi memang harus di dukung oleh stakeholder yang ada.

 

Metode Menentukan Awal Puasa

Indahnya Berbagi :

1. first of all, sudah saya sampaikan pada sharing lalu, bahwa umat Muslim punya 3 cara menentukan awal bulan dlm kalender Islam

2. tiga cara yg paling umum adl 1) hisab (menghitung) 2) rukyatul hilal lokal 3) rukyatul hilal global | rukyatul hilal adl melihat hilal

3. diantara metode hisab dan rukyatul hilal | 4 ulama madzhab (hanafi-maliki-syafi'i-hanbali) sepakati cara rukyatul hilal

4. adapun hisab, tetep ada dalilnya | dan itu boleh-boleh saja, jadi kita perlu kembangkan sikap 'legowo' saja, itu syar'i kok :)

5. adapun rukyatul hilal, maka ulama2 madzhab terbagi 2 pendapat | 1) rukyatul hilal global dan 2) rukyatul hilal lokal

6. madzhab hanafi-maliki-hanbali anut bahwa hilal itu global | 1 orang yg melihat, asal Muslim dan mau disumpah, berlaku bagi seluruh dunia

7. sedang ulama2 madzhab syafi'i anut rukyatul hilal lokal | setiap daerah yg terpisah 24 farsakh (120 km) boleh lihat sendiri hilal

8. keduanya benar, karena yg namanya ijtihad ulama madzhab pasti berdalil | jika benar 2 pahala, jika salah 1 pahala, begitu tegas Rasul

9. dalil-dalil hisab, rukyatul hilal lokal dan rukyatul hilal global tidak saya tuliskan disini (terlalu panjang) | tapi sy lampirkan nanti

10. jika saya ditanya "lalu yg mana metode yang benar? hisab, rukyatul hilal lokal atau rukyatul hilal global?" | sy jwb semua benar

11. hanya kalo saya ditanya "yg mana yg lebih kuat dalil?" | maka sy jawab, rukyatul hilal global

12. karena Rasul dlm hadits penentuan 1 ramadhan katakan harus "melihat" dengan mata, dan menerima informasi dari penduduk jauh (global)

13. tapi sekali lagi kita tekankan, bahwa bukan berarti yang lain salah | rukyatul hilal lokal dan hisab tetep bener, tetep berdalil

14. nah, sekarang kita bahas kapan 1 ramadhan 1433 H ya :)

15. tanggal 1 bulan ramadhan ditandai dengan munculnya hilal (first visible crescent) atau awal bulan baru yg terlihat mata

16. dalam bahasa astronomi disebut konjungsi (ijtima') yaitu ketika bumi-bulan-matahari berada dalam 1 garis lurus (jadi bulan item semua)

17. saat konjungsi (ijtima') bulan warnahnya hitam total, dan sesaat setalah itu muncullah sabit hilal (lihat pic) http://t.co/NOSjBwGk

18. nah, konjungsi itu sekarang (19/07/12) hampir terjadi :) | tepatnya terjadi pd 19/07/12-04:24 UTC http://www.moonsighting.com/

19. artinya kl konjungsi terjadi tgl 19/07/12-04:24 UTC atau 11:24 WIB | maka secara hisab, tanggal 19 lepas maghrib dianggap 1 ramadhan

20. makanya Muhammadiyyah sudah woro-woro bila tanggal 20/07/12 sudah puasa pertama, dan tarwihnya tgl 19/07/12 | secara hisab dah masuk

21. nah, bagi umumnya dunia yang menggunakan metode rukyatul hilal, maka belum tentu bagi mereka masuk 1 ramadhan | karena harus lihat hilal

22. pertanyaanya, kalo yang metode rukyatul hilal, bisakah mereka melihat hilal pada tanggal 19/07/12? simak gambar2 berikut

23. sumber http://www.moonsighting.com/ (peta dunia akan terlihatnya hilal pada 19/07/12)

24. sumber http://www.moonsighting.com/ (peta dunia akan terlihatnya hilal pada 20/07/12)

25. dari dua peta itu, maka dapat kita simpulkan pada 19/07/12 lepas maghrib, hilal mustahil terlihat dari Indonesia.

Tapi Ingat ULIL AMRI nya tempat / ladang korupsi, masihkan di percaya?

Alqur'an aja di embat apalagi puasa hahaha

Apa yang terjadi dengan Indonesia-Ku

Pernah mendengar E-KTP? ya itu dia e-KTP atau KTP Elektronik adalah dokumen kependudukan yang memuat sistem keamanan / pengendalian baik dari sisi administrasi ataupun teknologi informasi dengan berbasis pada database kependudukan nasional. Penduduk hanya diperbolehkan memiliki 1 (satu) KTP yang tercantum Nomor Induk Kependudukan (NIK). NIK merupakan identitas tunggal setiap penduduk dan berlaku seumur hidup.
 
Pernah dengar INAFIS? ya itu Indonesia Automatic Fingerprints Identification System...intinya sih menjelaskan sidik jari tersebut menyangkut masalah aspek penegakan hukum dalam mengungkap satu perkara, sehingga perolehan sidik jari akan membantu Polri dalam pengungkapan kasus kejahatan...

yang kemudian batal : http://www.republika.co.id/berita/nasional/umum/12/04/27/m34asv-batalkan-proyek-sidik-jari-inafis-polri-dipuji

yang saya tidak habis pikir..... semua aspek baik itu bank, npwp, buku nikah, atau apapun lah... menggunakan KTP lama... kalau di cek dilapangan? mau ngomong apa coba? bukannya malah ribet?....
hehe solusinya.... perbanyaklah KTP lama anda.....sebelum anda pusing.....

tapi tak apalah, di sambut baik saja, terutama untuk KPU... kenapa sih kok gak bergaya IT saja?
 khan E-KTP punya nama? id? dan siddik jarinya?...

bayangkan, tinggal datang, siddik jari di tempelkan...registered..pilih dengan asumsi record database menggunakan touch screen? mudah khan... tidak akan double2 deh... di jaminnn... asalkan terintegrasi ya secara infrastruktur... kalau orang tersebut pindah tempat, karena sudah milih access danied?.... mudah bukan? ya memang agak lama sih implementasinya.... soalnya banyak di korupsi sih hahaha
