Abstract

The election of outstanding regional heads brings hope for the future of leadership in Indonesia. One of the regional heads is the Regent of Bojonegoro for the 2008-2018 period. This study aims to determine the implementation of leadership that can bring change to the organization of the Bojonegoro Regency Government. By using qualitative methods and phenomenological approaches, this study seeks to reduce Suyoto^s leadership experience to the essence of implementing leadership needed by public organizations.
Through codification using NVivo, ten themes were found, namely: looking for solutions or breakthroughs, pro-people, having certain characteristics, not being distant, having a forgiving nature, having concern, having a vision, being a public bus driver, listening to input, and being an example or model. The results show that leaders need to have the right traits and skills, which are based on the drive to serve. This result should be imitated by other regions in choosing their leaders. But the difficulty lies in the urge to serve, because the urge is not obvious from the very beginning of the election of a leader, but will be tested once the leader gains power.
