Entrepreneur Soul Key

By M Suyanto

An entrepreneur must have the key entrepreneurial spirit, which is justice. Justice is fairness, honesty, sincerity is not biased. According to Ibn Khaldun, development can not be achieved except through justice and justice is the criterion used to evaluate human God.

Abu Yusuf explains the justice to the caliph Harun al-Rashid as saying "bring justice to those harmed and remove tyranny will increase revenue, accelerate the development of the country, and bring blessing, as well rewarded in the afterlife."

Successful leaders are serious in achieving justice. They'll say something and try to execute it. They execute by using the principles of justice, not indiscriminately.

Surely everyone wants to be treated fairly, but many among us who ignore this principle of justice. Especially when the decision-making, we get the pressure that makes us not be fair.

The successful leader, has the ability to remain fair, despite the pressure. Being fair is very difficult, not all of us were able to perform at a company or organization.

Leaders who see the world successfully use the principle of equality. All people are equal, then the principle of justice is the coveted leader of his men. When leaders do not do justice, it will destroy the world, will destroy the men and will lead to distrust subordinates to leaders, and would discourage business.

Morale is a rare item. Competition tighter business, did not rule out the employee becomes a victim as a result of the new strategy to win the competition. If it was so, the business spirit of employees will decrease.

In the U.S., Europe and even in Indonesia trying to find the business spirit of the employees, after long forgotten. Various pressures coming from various directions that threaten morale killing a productive and creative as well as destroy it to rubble tidakpercayaan interrelatedness cynical, narrow selfishness and damage that will cause despair. In this work, too many people who feel unsafe, threatened and unappreciated.

KLA Instruments corporate leaders, Ken Levy, uses the principle of justice, when the company is experiencing difficulties. He said in a meeting: "On this day I wanted cut payroll 10 percent, but because I got the biggest paycheck, so please cut 20 percent."

Despite allegations, people who attended the meeting instead of being upset because it was cut, but even they agree and employees to keep working hard. Employee morale is not down, but it increased sharply, because the leaders use the principles of justice.

My experience led more than 20 business units are also taught that way. When one of my business unit in very difficult conditions, so I asked to cut my salary 50 percent, while employees I asked to be patient, if the receiving salaries late and there was no increase in salary. Employees continue to work hard, their morale increases and eventually found new products and new strategies that cause them survive and get out of the crisis
