KEPIMPINAN dalam Islam.

Uli Al-Amri (Orang-orang yang diberi kuasa) - Merupakan suatu jawatan atau kedudukan dalam kepimpinan yang menjalankan tugas dan amanah untuk mentadbir dan mengendalikan urusan dunia. Oleh sebab itu adalah menjadi kewajipan kepada rakyat (orang-orang bawah tanggungjawabnya) mematuhi apa yang diperintahkan oleh Uli Al Amri sebagaimana firman Allah dalam surah An-Nisa’ ayat 59 yang bermaksud :“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, taatlah kamu kepada Allah dan taatlah kamu kepada Rasulullah S.A.W dan kepada Uli Al-Amri ( orang-orang yang berkuasa) dari kalangan kamu. Kemudian jika kamu berbantah-bantah ( berselisihan ) dalam sesuatu perkara, maka hendaklah kamu mengembalikannya kepada (Kitab) Allah (Al-Quran) dan (Sunnah) Rasul-Nya jika kamu benar beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat. Yang demikian adalah lebih baik (bagi kamu), dan lebih elok pula kesudahannya.”

Para pemimpin atau ketua yang telah dilantik hendaklah melantik pembantu-pembantu yang jujur dan berkebolehan. Tanda-tanda kejujurannya ialah sentiasa bersikap beriman dan tidak mengampu sehingga membenarkan yang salah dan menyalahkan yang benar. Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda yang bermaksud:“Apabila Allah S.W.T menghendaki seseorang ketua itu menjadi ketua yang baik, ia akan jadikan pembantunya itu bersikap benar. Jika ia lupa ( lupa kepada Allah dan menyeleweng dari kebenaran ) ia mengingatkannya. Jika ia tidak lupa, ia memberi pertolongan dan bantuan kepada ketuanya itu. Jika Allah menghendaki ketua itu menjadi ketua yang lain daripada itu, dijadikan pembantunya seorang yang jahat, jika ia lupa tidak diingatkanya dan jika ia ingat tidak dibantunya” ( diriwayatkan oleh Abu Daud ).

Leaders are ALSO Followers;.


Virtually no one leads all of the time. Leaders also function as followers; everyone spends a portion of their day following and another portion leading.
Educating people to help them become productive followers and leaders is an important leadership responsibility. Any thoughtful leader has three top priorities:
*Accomplish the mission.
*Take care of your people.
*Create more leaders.
An article written by Sgt. 1st Class Michael T. Woodward for the U.S. Army's Infantry magazine in mid-1975 suggests the scope of a followership guidelines;
1. Know yourself and seek self-improvement.
2. Be technically and tactically proficient.
3. Comply with orders and initiate appropriate actions in the absence of orders.
4. Develop a sense of responsibility, and take responsibility for your actions.
5. Make sound and timely decisions and recommendations.
6. Set the example for others.
7. Be familiar with your leader and his job, and anticipate his requirements.
8. Keep your leaders informed.
9. Understand the task and ethically accomplish it.
10. Be a team member -- but not a yes man.
[Followership: An Essential Element of Leadership
by Pat Townsend and Joan Gebhardt:2009]

LEADERSHIP is not something you do TO people. It's something you do WITH people.

According to Ken Blancard (2003), when we share our leadership strategy with our people, they are not only understand what we have in mind but also giving helpful feedback. True leaders looking forward for feedback because those can help us improve.

LEADERSHIP in practicing technology in school.

Today’s innovations in technology have provided valuable instructional tools for
education. School leaders/administrators play an essential role in whether these innovations
are being used effectively in their schools. Many state departments of education
have developed technology plans intended to promote the effective use of technology
and to aid administrators in implementing technology strategies that will
improve their school’s efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity. To emphasize the
administrators’ role in implementing technology into the schools, one state’s technology
plan underscores the need for administrators to initiate, promote, and support the
effective use of technology into their educational environments.

PETUA KEPIMPINAN ~ 360 degree LEADERSHIP by John Maxwell


  1. PLACE A HIGH VALUE ON PEOPLE
  2. COMMIT RESOURCES TO DEVELOP PEOPLE
  3. PLACE A HIGH VALUE ON LEADERSHIP
4. LOOK FOR POTENTIAL LEADERS
◄If leadership is on your radar and you value it, you will continually be on the lookout for potential leaders.
◄These are the top ten characteristics of “eagles”:
◄They make things happen.
◄They see opportunities.
◄They influence the opinions and actions of others.
◄They add value to you.
◄They draw winners to them.
◄They equip other eagles to lead.
◄They provide ideas that help the organization.
◄They possess an uncommonly great attitude.
◄They live up to their commitments.
◄They show fierce loyalty to the organization and the leader.
5. KNOW AND RESPECT YOUR PEOPLE
◄But there are also other characteristics that are common to all leaders that you should keep in mind as you take them through the development process.
◄People want to see results.
◄People want to be effective- they want to do what they do well.
◄People want to be in the picture.
◄People want to be appreciated.
◄People want to be a part of the celebration.
6. PROVIDE YOUR PEOPLE WITH LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
◄It is impossible to learn leadership without actually leading.
7. REWARD LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE
◄The best leaders are proactive
◄They make things happen.
8.PROVIDE A SAVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS, SHARE IDEAS AND TAKE RISKS
◄Pulitzer prize-winning historian Garry Wills said, “Leaders have a say in what they are being led to. A leader who neglects that soon finds himself without followers.”
◄Leadership by its very nature challenges.
9. GROW WITH YOUR PEOPLE
10. DRAW PEOPLE WITH HIGH POTENTIAL INTO YOUR INNER CIRCLE
“It’s better to have a group of deer led by a lion than a group of lions led by a deer.”
◄The best way to develop high-caliber leaders is to have them mentored by a high-caliber leader.
11. COMMIT YOURSELF TO DEVELOPING A LEADERSHIP TEAM
◄If you want your organization to reach its potential, if you want it to go from good to great (or even average to good), you need to develop a team of leaders, people who can fill in each others’ gaps, people who challenge and sharpen each other.
12. UNLEASH YOUR LEADERS TO LEAD
◄When the top leaders are lid lifters for the leaders in the middle, then those leaders become load lifters for the ones at the top.
