The sustainability of an organisation in the modern era now hinges on\nits ability to transition leadership. In response to the massive shifts\nin demography and work styles, Dr.\u00a0Irwan Dewanto, Chief Human Resources\nOfficer (CHRO) of TACO Group, officially launched his latest book, The\nMillennial Can Lead.<\/p>\n
The work is not merely popular literature but a scholarly piece drawn\ndirectly from in-depth research\u2014his doctoral dissertation at SBM ITB.\nThe book offers both a warning and a strategic guide for industry\nplayers to understand the urgency of leadership transformation amid the\nera of global disruption.<\/p>\n
According to data from the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) of Indonesia,\nthe Millennial generation (born 1981-1996) now dominates half of the\nproductive labour force in Indonesia. This major shift demands\nfundamental changes in how organisations are managed to remain\nrelevant.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn organisation\u2019s sustainability today can no longer rely on old\nleadership patterns. We must dare to transition from a rigid\nhierarchical structure based on power toward a collaborative ecosystem\npropelled by shared purpose,\u201d Irwan said at the official launch at the\nTACO Showroom IDD Indonesia, Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK2), on Wednesday 20\nMay 2026.<\/p>\n
As a bridge between conventional working methods and the digital era,\nthe book introduces a new standard of leadership called \u2018The Big 4\u2019 or\nthe Four Pillars. The success of contemporary leaders is measured by\ntheir speed in adapting, innovating, and solving problems across four\nkey points:<\/p>\n
The book launch coincided with National Awakening Day, a moment\nconsidered appropriate by Prof.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Soeprayitno, MM., MSc., Director of\nPT Pusat Studi Apindo (ATC). He emphasised that the material in the book\nhas strong validation meeting the strict standards of reputable\ninternational journals.<\/p>\n
\u2018The material presented is truly validated, up-to-date, sharp, and\nreliable research. May this book become a legacy that guides Irwan to\nthe highest academic achievements,\u2019 Prof.\u00a0Soeprayitno said.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Irwan outlined the vision of Multiplier Leadership to\nherald Indonesia\u2019s Golden Era 2045. Through the LEAD-PRO framework,\nMillennials are positioned as strategic leadership pillars, while Gen Z\nplays a role in driving digital productivity. This cross-generational\nsynergy is hoped to build a robust and adaptable national human\nresources architecture.<\/p>\n
As a continuation of his research commitment, Irwan also teased a\nsecond book project underway, titled \u2018Gen Z Can Be Productive\u2019.
