progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – The Director of Traffic (Dirlantas) for the Polda East Java, Kombes Pol Iwan Saktiadi, displayed an eccentric communication style when delivering his instructions to all ranks in the courtyard of the Ditlantas of the Polda East Java Building on Wednesday, (10/15). During his delivery, the three-star Libra officer from the Parama Satwika Battalion, Akpol 1998, appeared to be trying to effectively convey the meaning of his instructions with the analogy of a lion. He fully utilized the equivalent of the word “lion” in his narrative as the main point. That’s a good, smart choice.
The same point is also evident in his choice of a straightforward style as his delivery style yesterday. Honestly, it seemed effective and easy to understand. Simple to the ear, yet profound to the heart. The author was even drawn in and attentively listened to the instructions broadcast on the Ditlantas of the Polda East Java Instagram account.
“My directive is analogous to a lion and a goat. Don’t let these lions be led by a goat. Your instincts will die. I want my men to have courage. They should have positive preferences in everything. I don’t want to limit your freedom of movement and creativity. You all have extraordinary potential. Unleash your potential,” said Kombes Pol Iwan Saktiadi attempting to instill morale in his staff at the beginning of his directive.
“I want my organization to be great. I am a lion, so i only want to lead lions. People with lion instincts,” he continued.
He explained, that a lion typically focuses on its target while working. When chasing a target, like a goat, it never lets go until it is captured. And once it has captured its target, the lion will not move on to another target.
This is the characteristic that Kombes Pol Iwan Saktiadi hopes will be ingrained in the minds of all his men at the Ditlantas of the Polda East Java. Always focus on achieving your stated targets and continue building your territory to grow your organization.
“I want you to remain productive and maintain the integrity of your organization with the instinct of a lion. Our organization will be incredibly visible to the public as it continues to grow and expand,” he said again motivating them.
“We must continue to present our good behavior as Polri members to the public as servants and protectors. Because we are the frontline figures who shape the great Polri house,” he added.
He also reminded them that while lion-like instincts are highly expected, the personnel of the Ditlantas of the Polda East Java are also asked to never forget to portray themselves as public servants with a sense of crisis. This trait is part of the Polri members’ abilities, which are required to always anticipate, analyze, and respond quickly and effectively to unusual situations, even those outside standard procedures.
“We are public servants who must always be friendly, polite, and courteous. But in a critical situation that threatens public safety, we must also be able to transform quickly as guardians and protectors of the community. We are like a mother lion who always serves and protects her cubs,” he explained again using a majas simile to emphasize his message. (Bembo)
