The 2008 Business Unit Of The Year
Canvas Development
Here is an interview with Peter Chambers - MD
Strategy, on February 17th, 2009
When did RC start giving Business Unit of the Year
award?
It has been at for at least 5 years.
What are the basic values underlying the Award?
Firstly, financial performance year over year against
budget and increasing shareholder value. The second
value is the initiatives for the year, for example one of
the reasons why the Hotel Group and Canvas won this
last year is because they completed St. Regis Bali. The
third value is team values.
So, it's financial performance, increasing shareholders
value, delivery of new project, and general approach
to business and treatment of their team.
What if more than one business unit meet the winner
criteria for the award?

FEBRUARY 2009 02
Business Unit of The Year is the most prestigious
award awaited by business units. This award aims
to recognize an operating unit for excellent
execution of projects /operations which result in
outstanding financial and non financial
achievements. A very warm and long applause from
the audience filled the ballroom when Peter
Chambers announce the 2008 winner of this
prestigious award during Rajawali Kick Off Meeting
held on February 5th, 2009 at JW Mariott Ballroom
in Jakarta.
Business Unit of The Year adalah penghargaan yang
paling bergengsi yang ditunggu oleh bisnis unit.
Penghargaan ini ditujukan kepada bisnis unit yang
berhasil mencapai prestasi yang gemilang, baik
dalam hal finansial maupun non finansial.
Sambutan hangat dan tepuk tangan meriah
memenuhi ruangan saat Peter Chambers
mengumumkan pemenang tahun 2008 perghargaan
paling bergengsi ini pada Rajawali Kick Off Meeting
yang diselenggarakan tanggal 5 Februari 2009 di
hotel JW Mariott.
Berikut ini adalah interview dengan Peter Chambers –
MD Strategy tanggal 17 Februari 2009.
Sejak kapan RC mulai memberikan penghargaan ini?
Paling tidak sejak 5 tahun lalu
Nilai dasar apa mendasari penghargaan ini?
Pertama adalah kinerja keuangan dari tahun ke tahun,
terhadap budget, dan juga peningkatan nilai tambah
bagi pemegang saham. Kedua adalah inisiatif baru
pada tahun tersebut. Sebagai contoh salah satu alasan
mengapa hotel group dan Canvas memenangkan
penghargaan ini pada tahun 2008 adalah karena
mereka berhasil menyelesaikan hotel St. Regis Bali. Dan
ketiga adalah kerjasama tim.
Jadi, kinerja keuangan, peningkatan shareholder value,
penyelesaian proyek dan kerjasama tim adalah kriteria
pemberian penghargaan ini.
Bagaimana jika ada lebih dari 1 bisnis unit mencapai
kriteria yang harus dipenuhi?

PROFILE
Well, you can have more than one meet the criteria,
but then it's the extent to which they meet the criteria.
So, for the example we had 2 Business Units in 2008
that met the criteria. One was Hotels and Canvas, the
other one was Semen Gresik. The reason why the
Hotel Group was selected was because they achieved
a greater increase in shareholder value and delivered
the St. Regis Bali Project. Overall, their contribution
was the best of all Business Units.
What are the achievements of the Hotel Operations
Group and Canvas Developments?
Increased their revenue by 44%. Increased their
EBITDA by 53%, outperformed their revenue budget
by 8%, outperformed EBITDA budget by 16%, grew
shareholder value by over 5%, and completion the St.
Regis Bali
Do you think Canvas Developments will sustain their
2008 Performance in 2009 and beyond?
Yes, I believe they will continue to grow although, I do
think 2009 will be tough a year. So should Canvas
Developments continue to grow? I think it will require
great effort. You must remember that the Hotel Group
and Canvas are not only impacted by the Indonesian
economy, they are also impacted by the world
economy. So, if I look at the Business Units. I think
Canvas and the Hotel Group will have one of the
hardest tasks of all Business Units in 2009.
But I heard a lot of Hotels have decreased their rates.
Well, they have, but that will impact on their
performance, won't it? It will be more competitive.
Our Hotel Group will have to differentiate on the
product offering, in particular the entire “customer
experience “. Our Hotel group is very well placed to
achieve this differentiation.
For 2009, given the economic outlook, will the Business
Unit of the Year Award criteria be adjusted?
No, I think a good management in tough years, still
understands how to grow and deliver on their budget.
Yes economics will change, however our aim at the
end of the day should be to grow shareholders value
PT RAJAWALI CORPORA
FEBRUARY 2009 03
Memang bisa saja lebih dari satu bisnis unit memenuhi
kriteria, tapi akan dilihat sejauh mana mereka
memenuhi kriteria-kriteria tersebut. Sebagai contoh,
tahun 2008 ini ada dua bisnis unit yang memenuhi
kriteria. Yang pertama adalah Hotel dan Canvas, yang
kedua dalah Semen Gersik. Alasan mengapa Hotel dan
Canvas yang memenangkan penghargaan ini adalah
karena mereka meningkatkan shareholder value dengan
angka pertumbuhan lebih baik dibandingkan Semen
Gersik. Jadi dua-duanya memenuhi kriteria namun Hotel
dan Canvas lebih baik.
Apa saja pencapaian Hotel Operation Group dan Canvas
tersebut?
Mereka berhasil meningkatkan pendapatan sebesar
44%, EBITDA 53%. Melebihi budget pendapatan sebesar
8%, dan budget EBITDA 16%. Mereka juga meningkatkan
shareholder value lebih dari 5%, dan berhasil
menyelesaikan hotel St. Regis Bali.
Apakah menurut anda Canvas Development bisa
mempertahankan prestasi 2008 di tahun 2009?
Ya, saya percaya mereka akan terus tumbuh walaupun
tahun 2009 akan menjadi tahun yang sangat
menantang. Jadi apakah Canvas Development dapat
meneruskan pertumbuhannya? Saya pikir itu
memerlukan usaha besar. Kita harus ingat bahwa Hotel
Group dan Canvas bukan hanya terpengaruh oleh
kondisi ekonomi Indonesia, tapi kondisi ekonomi dunia.
Jadi saya pikir Hotel Group dan Canvas development
memiliki tugas paling berat dibandingkan bisnis unit
yang lain di tahun 2009.
Tapi saya dengar banyak hotel menurutkan tarifnya
Ya, itu terjadi, tapi itu akan mempengaruhi kinerja
mereka bukan?. Hal itu akan membuat persaingan
makin ketat. Hotel-hotel kita harus berbeda dalam
penawaran produk, khususnya ”pengalaman
pelanggan”. Hotel-hotel kita mempunyai semua yang
diperlukan untuk menawarkan perbedaan.
Melihat kondisi ekonomi 2009, apakah kriteria penilaian
pemenang penghargaan ini akan diubah?
Tidak. Menurut saya, manajemen yang baik di tahun
yang berat ini, tahu bagaimana cara untuk tetap
bertumbuh dan mengelola budget mereka. Keadaan
ekonomi akan berubah, tetapi pada akhirnya tujuan kita
adalah menghasilkan nilai tambah bagi pemegang
saham.

penghargaan ini?
EH: Mengerti trend yang sedang berkembang. Sadar
akan kompetisi. Fokus pada kekuatan, lokasi, produk,

untuk St. Regis Bali tantangannya lebih besar karena

any property development or acquisition for informed
decisions to be made, for example, in our present
consideration on the setting up of a budget hotel

subcontractors and suppliers in view of the falling
material prices and to finalize the material contracts at
the appropriate time.

need to mitigate the risks therein:
a. This is the time for looking in and thinking,
knowing our SWOT.
b. Be flexible with our market strategies especially in
the hotel business to look for emerging or
potential markets.
c. Revenue enhancement by up-selling the product,
build relationship with wholesaler markets and

Leadership
What Makes a Good Leader
By Myron Curry, President of BusinessTrainingMedia.com
Copyright -2004

It goes without saying that good leadership is crucial to

any successful business. But, what makes a good
leader and how can someone develop himself or herself
into a good leader if they are not one to begin with? The
answer is that there are many factors that contribute to
good leadership. And, whether someone is naturally a
good leader or not, anyone can become a good leader.

GET TALKING them into discovering the solution themselves. Once

One of those factors of good leadership is
communication. Communication is one of the most
key elements of leadership. Good communication
skills need to be learned to effectively become a good
leader or manager. When communication occurs, as a
leader, you will be able to accurately convey your
ideas and thoughts to those that work for you. In fact,
simply being able to convey these things in the first
place, much less accurately, puts you in the right
direction for leadership. If employees have no idea
what is on your mind, your leadership is going to
falter. Employees are not typically mind readers.
If there is a problem a certain employee is
experiencing, good communication can filter the
problem out. You, as a leader, can dissect the problem
and offer solutions in various ways.
Ideas that are given to employees work both ways, as
well. Employees can give helpful feedback and
generate new ideas to you that help the company as
well, when good communication is present.
GET THINGS MOVING
Motivation is another variable that plays into good
leadership. Employees tend to stagnate when
motivation decreases…and it will decrease, without
proper motivation. Many leaders try to motivate the
old-fashioned way…through fear. (Do what I say or
something bad will happen) This is not advisable,
since it tends to only deliver short-term results and
cause even less competent work in the long run, due
to resentment resulting from the fear tactics.
Instead, try adding challenges for employees. A fresh
challenge always adds excitement and spawns
creativity. Challenge your employees with tasks that
may be slightly out of their range and let them at it!
This increases motivation.
If they run into a snag, guide them towards a solution
but don't offer the actual solution outright. Coach
they have, their self-esteem will rise, thereby raising
their motivation level.
TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Teamwork is always something to consider when
striving to become a good leader. This means not only
teaching your employees to work together but to
become part of the team yourself.
Use others' potential. Many times, employees'
potential is wasted. A good leader recognizes that his
or her employees are more than just employees, they
are people too. These people have lives outside of
work where they have to make decisions on a daily
basis, from how to deal with house payments, to car
bills, to raising children, to uncountable tasks in
everyday lives. Yet, at work, their decision making skills
are not trusted enough to choose what type of toner
needs to be ordered for a set of printers.
The point here is that employees need to be trusted to
do more. A good leader doesn't manage every single
detail. Use others' potential to your benefit. You will
find that you have become a better leader for it.
BACK TO SCHOOL
As always, increasing your education is definitely a
good thing when trying to improve leadership, but
the school that really needs to be brought at attention
here is the kind of school that you don't get a degree
for.
Take the time to learn as much about your position of
being a leader as possible. Do some reading at the
nearest bookstore. Talk to other leaders and see how
they do things; trade notes. The more you continually
evaluate yourself and your practices and search for as
much information on leadership as possible, the more
you will be able to keep up with changing times and
the better leader you will be for it.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL
Ewijaya, GM - Investment Rajawali Corpora
Winner of prestigious Rajawali Awards for two years in
a row … Management Excellent Award in 2007, and
Ovation Award in 2008 … put him in our top list of
interesting figure for Rajawali team to know. What are
key to this father of two's success?
“Giving full commitment to the job with passion, and
striving in doing the best … that is how I work,” he
said. In his opinion, everyone is responsible, but
working with “heart” will giving you the optimal result.
Being an accounting graduate of Gajah Mada
University, he has gained an extensive experience
through his career with a leading multinational
company in Jakarta before joining Rajawali in 2005.
“By nature, I prefer finance to accounting,” he said
when asked about his career path. He sees that his
current position in investment division provides him
an abundance of opportunities to learn about many
things. He considers the job dynamic and very
challenging. “I learned a lot here. This is important to
me.”
Talking about his career only will not give us a
complete view of this Libra gentleman. What does he
do at leisure time?
“Everyday I worked from morning to night …
therefore, I do my best to devote my weekends with
my wife and our two daughters,” (hmmm…. not only is
he a career man … he is also a family man). “Normally
we stroll in a mall, getting the kids to playground and
bookstores”.

Friendly, is the first impression one gets
when he or she meets this guy. Born in
Lampung, October 12, 1975, his hobbies
include watching films and listening to
music.
Ramah dan penuh senyum adalah kesan
pertama yang kita lihat saat menjumpai
sosok yang satu ini. Pria Lampung
kelahiran 12 Oktober 1975 ini, ternyata
punya hobi nonton film dan mendengarkan
musik.
Berhasil mendapatkan penghargaan selama 2 tahun
berturut-turut (Management Excellent Award 2007 &
Ovation Award 2008), mengantarnya menjadi sosok
yang cukup menarik untuk dikenal. Apa saja rahasia pria
yang sudah mempunyai 2 anak ini?
“Bekerja dengan penuh komitmen, punya passion dan
do the best, itulah cara saya menyelesaikan pekerjaan
saya”. Menurutnya, semua orang pasti akan
bertanggungjawab dengan pekerjaannya, tapi
melakukan pekerjaan itu dengan “hati” akan
memberikan hasil yang optimal. Lulusan Akuntansi,
Universitas Gajah Mada ini, punya pengalaman yang
cukup banyak di salah satu multinasional company
yang cukup dikenal di Jakarta, sebelum bergabung
dengan Rajawali pada tahun 2005.
“By nature, saya lebih suka dengan finance
dibandingkan dengan akuntansi”, begitulah ujarnya
saat ditanyakan mengenai perjalanan karirnya.
Menurutnya, posisinya di dept investment saat ini,
membuatnya diberi kesempatan untuk mempelajari
banyak hal, tidak monoton dan sangat 'challenging'.
“Saya banyak belajar di sini dan untuk saya, ini
kesempatan yang paling berharga buat saya”.
Mengupas perjalanan karirnya, kurang lengkap bila
tidak tahu apa saja yang dilakukan pria berbintang libra
ini di waktu luang?
“Tiap hari saya bekerja dari pagi sampai malam, jadi
saya selalu berusaha menghabiskan akhir minggu saya
dengan istri dan kedua putri saya” (hmm…..ternyata
sosok ini bukan hanya sukses dalam karir namun
juga sangat memperhatikan keluarganya) “Biasanya
kami ke mall, ajak anak2 ke arena bermain, makan dan
ke toko buku”.
