Character Based Leadership

The leader has his own unique and distinctive nature, habits, temperament, character and personality so that it is his behavior and style that distinguishes him from others. This style will definitely color the behavior as well as the type of leadership. Leadership is aspirational power, creative spirit, and moral strength, which is able to influence members to change attitudes, so that they are in line with the wishes and aspirations of the leader. Leaders should be figures who become role models for those they lead. Some types of leadership in general are autocratic, charismatic, laisser faire, democratic, to make quality improvements. But if every time and in every case you have to give orders or directions, it will cause difficulties, because every time to do a good job it must be with the orders of the leadership, and if there is no order from the leadership not to do a good job, then continuous improvement of the quality of performance will be difficult to realize. A leader motivates followers through a leadership style based on Indonesian Local Wisdom, namely a character-based leadership style in realizing this, currently a leadership management style that integrates 18 character building values into the leadership style of University management is achieved so that the vision and mission of the university is achieved.


INTRODUCTION
Organizations around the world are looking for ways to improve their leadership styles, but finding the right one can be a challenge. Choosing the right leadership style for your team is the best way to challenge old practices, reduce risk, scale your organization, and communicate effectively. This is where strategic leadership plays an important role. An organization is formed as a forum to achieve the goals that have been agreed upon and planned together. The one who plans and runs is the human being who is in the organization, who is meant to be a leader. The good or bad of an organization largely depends on its own leader. In influencing subordinates, leadership must apply leadership styles to subordinates so that the achievement of organizational goals that are carried out is easily carried out.
Leadership style is the way the leader uses his concerns against subordinates (democratic, people-oriented, telling, and so on). Leadership style is the norm of behavior of others as seen. In this case, trying to harmonize perceptions between people who will influence behavior with those whose behavior is influenced becomes very important.
The leader has his own unique and distinctive nature, habits, temperament, character and personality so that it is his behavior and style that distinguishes him from others. This style or style of life will definitely color his behavior and leadership type. Leadership is a creative aspirational power, spirit power, and moral force, which is able to influence members to change attitudes, so that they are in line with the wishes and aspirations of the leader (Akib & Darwis, Leadership is the process of directing and influencing the task activities of people in a group. Leadership means involving other people, namely subordinates or employees who are led (Akib & Darwis, 2015;Sunarsi, 2018). According to (Akib & Darwis, 2015;Chairil, 2017;Kartono, 2011;Samad & Hardi, 2018;Sudaryono, 2014;Thoha, 2014) The leader has his own unique characteristics, habits, temperament, character and personality so that it is his behavior and style that distinguishes him from others.
Leadership will efektif if the leader can inspire the led to work together to act together to achieve the goals of the organization and in doing so the led will experience a process of leadership development, so that in the future they will be able to become leaders (Laha et al., 2021;Mursak & Sani, 2021;Sukmawati et al., 2019). Leadership will be effective if the leader can inspire the led to work together to act together to achieve organizational goals and in doing so the led will experience a leadership development process, so that in the future they will be able to become leaders. Such behavior, being this leader on the other hand will also provide a space for autonomy to recognize the potential that exists in the members of educational organizations. These two things, namely the process of fostering leadership in the human resources of educational organizations and autonomy, are extraordinary rewards to stimulate the productivity and improvement of the performance of organizational members. However, on the other hand, there is a domain that also needs to be formed by transformational leaders in addition to motivating the personalities of the members of the organization, namely the formation of a context that is able to motivate and inspire them.

If every job is done well, it must be with orders from the leadership, and if there is no order from the leadership, the work is not carried out properly, then continuous improvement in the quality of performance will be difficult to realize. Therefore, in order for leadership, apart from giving directions or orders about things that need to be improved in quality, it also needs to be used to foster intrinsic motivation, namely growing awareness of the need for everyone in higher education to always try to improve the quality of their performance individually. or together as a group or as an organization. The higher education management system has become the focus of collaboration between higher education groups in the same area, with the focus on quality management/quality improvement.

The purpose of this new management format is continuous quality improvement, by incorporating the principle of autonomy as a driving force to make the system more dynamic, accountability or responsibility so that autonomy is carried out in a responsible manner, accreditation to ensure the quality of graduates, and self-evaluation so that the decision-making process in planning based on empirical data and information. In this article, we'll explain how strategic leadership works, how it compares to other leadership styles, and why it's a favorite of many leaders by far.
