ANALYSIS TOOLS TO FALL AND STATE AWAKENING

Analysis tool that is still powerful enough to find a country downs presented by Ibn Khaldun in 808 H. (1406) in his Prolegomena. Ibn Khaldun's contribution on economic principles with cross-disciplinary dynamic models (Chapra, 2000). The entire model can be summarized by Ibn Khaldun in his advice to the king as follows: (1) The power of sovereignty (al-mulk) can not be maintained except by implementing sharia, (2) Sharia can not be implemented except by a sovereign (al-mulk). (3). Sovereignty will not gain power unless supported by human resources (ar-rijal). (4). Human resources can not be maintained unless the property (al-mal). (5). Property can not be obtained except by the construction of (al - Imarah). (6). Development can not be achieved except by justice (al-adl). (7) Justice is the criterion (al-mizan) which God used to evaluate human and (8) Sovereignty contain loads of responsibility to uphold justice.

This advice, in Ibn Khaldun's own words, consists of eight principles (hikamiyyah sentence) of political wisdom, each connected to another to gain power, in a cycle path where the beginning and end can not be distinguished. This reflects the dynamic character and cross-discipline of Ibn Khaldun's analysis. He is cross-disciplinary as connecting all the political and socioeconomic variables are important, such as the Sharia (S), the political authority or wazi (G), human or rijal (N), or the mall property (W), development or Imarah (g) and justice or al-adl (j), in an interdependent rotation cycle, influencing each other and in turn will be influenced by others as well. Considering the operation of this cycle occurs in a chain reaction in a long perioede dynamism dimension included in the overall analysis and helps explain how political factors, moral, social, economic and continuously interact and influence the progress and setbacks or fall and built a civilization . In a long-term analysis such as this, do not apply ceteris paribus clause because no variables are constant (fixed). One of the variables to act as a trigger mechanism and the others can react in the same way, the whole in one sector will not permeate to other variables and this led to the possibility that the sectors diperbaikinya damaged along with travel time or the decline of civilization will occur slowly . Will occur sectors others reacted in the same direction with the trigger mechanism, the whole will gain momentum through a chain reaction of mutual berhubunghan so difficult to identify because of the effect. This causal cycle is called the Cycle of Justice which can be used as an analytic tool powerful enough.

Losses-Losses will produce people who will take revenge, blind to the fact that the murder was suicide. Revenge is a double-edged sword, able to kill the enemy at once can kill themselves. There are people who become centered on the enemy, so totally obsessed with the behavior of his opponent to the point that becomes blind to everything but their desire for him to lose, hostile conflict, a philosophy which is very exhausting war. Lose-lose philosophy is also very dependent person, without direction from the inside, who suffer and think everyone else should suffer too.

With a Win-Win solution, all parties are happy with the decision and felt bound by tindakaanya plan. Win-Win to see life as a cooperative arena, not competitive. Most people tend to think in dichotomies, strong or weak, hard or soft, manang or lose. However, such thinking is fundamentally flawed. This way of thinking based on power and position rather than on principle. Win-Win is based on the paradigm that there is a lot for everybody, that one person's success is not achieved at the expense or remove other people's success. Thus the word. Stephen R. Covey.

Think Win-Win is the habit of interpersonal leadership, which requires the exercise of the unique human gift, such as conscience, self-awareness, imagination and free will are framed with a noble morality and obedience to the Creator, Allah. Morals are the basis of the Win-Win and others built on the basis of morality is. Tenderness, kepemaafan, empathy with others, communicate with active listening, working hard and always bersrah to God is a noble character.

Empathic communication is communication with active listening, namely communication by responding to what was said, intended and the other person's feelings. Communication is the other person solve the problem alone. Empathic communication is a central circle of successful leadership. Once Ali ibn Abi Talib (in-law and nephew of the Prophet) asked the Messenger of his love to her and Fatimah (the Prophet's daughter). "O Messenger of Allah. why hast thou more than I love Fatima? "asked Ali. Prophet smiled and then answered "Yes Ali, I love Fatima's more than you, but I love you more than Fatima".

The Dalai Lama said "People can be much happier if only they'd share the wealth, share more friends, more fragrant names, positive things are inherited, and also less regret when they died later. They can say to yourself, at least I have used my money to help others, "wrote Howard C. Cutler in the book The Art of Happiness at Work.

LEADERSHIP AS A STRATEGY

The essence of strategy is leadership. No one will follow you if you do not know where to be moved. Akio Morita Sony gives direction to find new markets with the title "pioneer spirit".

"The leader is the first creation that determines success and failure of the organization" said Steven R. Covey. Thus the leader is the key to organizational success. Leadership review of an effective leader and what distinguishes a leader and not a leader. Definitions vary widely leaders and very much. We take the definition given by Abraham Zaleznik, and John Kotter

Abraham Zaleznik of Harvard Business School, argues that leaders and managers is very different. They differ in motiv, personal history, ways of thinking and acting. Managers tend to take the attitude of impersonal, no not passive, for the purpose, while the leader took personal attitudes and activism toward the goal. Managers tend to view work as a process that allows, include a combination of people and ideas interact to define strategies and make decisions.Leaders work from a position of high risk, often temperamental they are looking for risk and danger, especially if the opportunities and rewards appear high. Managers prefer to work with people, they avoid activities alone because the activity makes them anxious. They relate to people according to the role they play in a sequence of events or in the decision making process. Leaders who consider the idea, associated with people in a more intuitive and empathetic.

John Kotter argues that leadership is different from management. Manajamen it comes to complexity, to produce order and consistency Tib by drafting formal plans, designing a strict organization and monitor the results through benchmarking with the plan. Leadership on the other hand, it comes to cope with change. Leaders establish direction by developing a vision for the future, able to synergize with the people communicate and inspire them to overcome obstacles.

TECHNICAL CREATE IDE: MINIMASI

Many who ask me. Bagaimanakan idea how to create it?. How to implement these ideas can be realized in the business?. Even if necessary, how it can bounce ideas business?. To create an original idea is not easy, it can be used several techniques ". One such technique is the technique minimasi.

Minimasi techniques other than diminution in the reduction can also be physical in terms of time. Honda success using the techniques in terms of physical minimasi, when entering the U.S. market. At that time in the United States have a motorcycle is a big motorcycle 250 cc and 350 cc. Honda originally tried to make a big motorcycle, but a failure. Finally Honda use minimization techniques to create a 50 cc bike called the Super Cup, which started the success of Honda. In only a 5-year term, one of two motorcycles in Los Angeles, Honda brand. Sony Chairman Akio Morita is also using the minimization technique. When he saw the young kids listening to music with a large carrying a tape recorder on his shoulders carried everywhere, why do not can be replaced with a small tape recorder that can be inserted into the pocket. The idea is realized by Morita with the Walkman was created, which is the beginning of the success of the Sony company. Minimization of this idea appears also from Sony, Handycam, which is minimization of a large video camera. Floppy disk is a data storage minimization of great physical shape, either in the form of magnetic tape or magnetic disk. Even in times of crisis minimasi technique is very beneficial. Packaging 1 kg weight can be minimized for example by 200 grams or 100 grams, thus the price will be cheaper. In times of crisis, just the price factor in determining consumers decide to buy a product.

Minimization techniques can also be done on time. Dell Computer is used to the time required for testing a network requires 60 to 90 days can be shortened to 15 days. Order PC only takes one day and a complex system takes only five days. Minimization is combined with E-Commerce Dell can bounce back and become the number one PC vendor in the world in 1999.
