REINVENTING FUTURE

• Gen Z are inheriting some of the greatest challenges that our world has faced, but we can
rest assured that they’re going to be more prepared than previous generations. Digital
natives from birth, more connected and empathetic, and with an entrepreneurial spirit,
this seems to be an excellent combination for social entrepreneurship to thrive. Time will
tell.

 “You really can
discipline in a way
that’s full of respect
Discipline and nurturing, but
– with that also maintains
respect and clear and consistent
boundaries. In other
love
words, you can do
better. ”

Excerpt From: Daniel J. Siegel. “No-Drama

Discipline.” Apple Books.
Nurturing Discipline
1. Show and tell. – teladan tidak hanya bicara namun teladan lebih “BICARA”
2. Set limits. – batasan – kejelasan dan konsistensi sesuai usia. Makin besar
makin bisa ‘dialog’
3. Give consequences. – tunjukkan kosekuensi dengan tenang dan tegas:
tunjukkan mengapa mesti menjalankan sesuatu. Bolos – malas – tidak rapi:
secara positif
4. Hear them out. – mendengarkan semakin anak ‘bertambah dewasa’
semakin bisa diajak bicara. Bahkan jika anak ‘tiba-tiba’ diam (saat itulah
bicara dari hati penting)
5. Give them your attention. – genuine attention perhatian tulus penuh cinta
diperlukan.
Nurturing Discipline
6. Catch them being good. – baik buruk (jelas) – apresiasi positif dan teguran
cinta saat ada hal negative
7. Know when not to respond. – kapan harus tidak merespon balik – diam
kadang perlu
8. Be prepared for trouble. – persiapkan payung sebelum hujan. – emosi
yang tidak stabil normal
9. Redirect bad behavior. – mengalihkan pada hal positif – saat sesuatu yang
buruk terjadi ajak untuk melihat hal lain.
10. Call a time-out. – stop: berhenti sementara (saat ada ‘ribut’)
 B. Encourage Grit

#7: USE VISUAL AND #8: GRIT WON’T APPLY

DELAYED GRATIFICATION TO EVERY SITUATION
The antidote: cultivate
relationship skills, starting
with empathy. Lacking
empathy, a high-grit go-getter
cares not at all about how his
or her driving ambition
impacts those around them.
Their personal lives crumble;
they are poison to work teams;
and hyper-critical as leaders.
DANIEL GOLEMAN – “PROBLEM
WITH GRIT”
So there’s nothing wrong
with grit per se. Just
balance it with some
emotional intelligence

C. Leadership Humility –
Super Character
• Approachable

• Accepts his/her own failures

 Humility - New Human Character
'It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that
the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.’ — Mahatma Gandhi

Memisahkan ego Membuka mata Membaharui diri

kualitas kedalam seberapa baik Anda seberapa baik Anda seberapa baik Anda
berpikir, menyadari bahwa bersikap terbuka mencoba ide dan
kemampuan Anda “tidak” untuk terus menguji cara baru untuk
mendengarkan mengetahui dan keyakinan Anda mencapai tujuan
dengan empathy, mampu tentang cara kerja Anda dan belajar
berkolaborasi memisahkan dunia; dan dari eksperimen
dengan orang lain, keyakinan diri anda tersebut.
dan belajar dari (bukan nilai) dari
kehidupan ego Anda sendiri;

Hess E.D. & Ludwig K. (2017). Humility is the new smart: Rethinking human excellence in the smart machine age.
Nurturing Humility
#1 Teach the Magic Words:
• Genuine Grateful à TERIMA KASIH
• Apologize à “MAAF”
• Permohonan sesuatu à “Please”: Tolong …
#2 Latihan Melayani: mencuci piring, menyapu,
memberikan “menyisihkan” sebagian uang untuk
social charity
#3 Cerita Inspiratif – teladan kemanusiaan:
Nelson Mandella, Para Nabi, dll (sedini mungkin)
•
 Nurturing Humility
#4 HORMATI “Gen Z” à Never Humiliate them
#5 KASIH TULUS - Love never fails à Cinta yang tulus tak
pernah gagal: perhatian dan kasih sayang tulus sangat
diperlukan
#6 DUKUNG “THE BEST” à Encourage and help them to
be the very best they can be—no matter what they do.
#7 Awareness to BUILD the value à Build them up.
Humility always comes from a position of belief, strength,
and self-assurance.
#8 Modelling – teaching through example
