KONSTRUKSI KOMUNIKASI KEPEMIMPINAN Sebuah Analisis Faktor

Abstract

To accelerate achieving vision and implementing mission, it is very urgent to pay attention to the concept of leader or leadership, for it will determine quality. It is, therefore, reasonable if we suggest that the construction of leadership communication has very strategic roles. There are two postulates of the above strategic roles. The first is the dimension of consideration . By this concept, a leader emphasizes to motivate in order that the subordinates or members of the group can accomplish the tasks to achieve objectives. Besides, the leader maintains internal and external harmony and members satisfaction. The second is the dimension of initiating and directing . This concept primarily concerns with specifying ways and means for accomplishing the objectives of the group and coordinating activities of several members by making policy, planning, and executing. It is important for a leader to do a self-construction in   communicating messages because: 1) a leader is an  executive; he or she must be the top coordinator of the group activities, 2) a leader is a planner; he or she must decide the ways and means by which the group members shall achieve the goals, 3) a leader is a policy planner, he or she must establish the goals and policies, 4) a leader is an expert; he or she must be ready to be available as a source of information, experiences, and skills, 5) a leader is a controller of both internal and external relations of the group by governing the specific details of the group structure, and 6) a leader is a purveyor of reward and punishment which enables him or her to control the group members.
