Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said he places\ngreater importance on work than on the ego associated with narcissistic\nleadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of this nation\u2019s problems is that people\u2019s egos are too big,\nespecially those of its leaders. Once they become leaders, they only\nwant to be seen themselves,\u201d Pramono said in remarks at the opening of a\nCiputra University building in West Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n
He said he no longer had a narcissistic leadership ego and therefore\nwould not react strongly when attacked.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for me, perhaps I don\u2019t have an ego any more, so I just take it\neasy. It\u2019s fine if I\u2019m attacked, and it\u2019s also fine if I\u2019m not,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Pramono said he was now focused solely on working to resolve\nJakarta\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, the principle is what Pak Ci told me back then, and I\nremember it clearly: work hard and make decisions without having a\nvested interest in them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also said that he had never applied for a job in his life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to say this, not to boast \u2013 not at all \u2013 but I have\nnever asked anyone for a job in my life,\u201d Pramono said.<\/p>\n
He said that when he served as Cabinet Secretary under President\nMegawati Sukarnoputri, he had never asked for the position.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut why did it happen? Because of hard work. When I was chosen by\nPak Jokowi for two terms, why was that? Because of hard work. Now I am\nGovernor, and I never even dreamed of becoming Governor,\u201d Pramono\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why I told the City Hall staff: Pak Harun, if you are late\nfor an appointment at City Hall, it will be called off. There is no more\nof this not being on time. Even when the mayor came late, I gave her a\nlook \u2013 \u2018Oh, the mayor is late\u2019,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-says-work-matters-more-than-narcissistic-leadership-1792065247", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
