Successfully Becoming Inspiring Leader, President Director of BCA Jahja Setiaatmadja Wins the Best CEO 2018

Jakarta, 29 November 2018 – PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), through its President Director of BCA, Jahja Setiaatmadja, has been The Best Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 2018 held by SWA Magazine and Dunamis Intermaster. SWA Magazine and Dunamis Intermaster give appreciation to reputable company leaders whose vision and innovation have successfully brought the company they lead to grow and develop.

The Best CEO 2018 award was received directly by Jahja Setiaatmadja, handed over by Group Chief Editor SWA Kemal E. Gani and Partner Dunamis Organization Services Tommy Sudjarwadi in Jakarta, Thursday (29/11). On the occasion, Jahja expressed his gratitude for being trusted to lead BCA in providing the country with quality banking services and products. "We acknowledge that the banking industry faces a number of challenges as well as opportunities in today’s digital age. However, as a national banking institution that stays on top of mind of the Indonesian people, BCA continues to maintain its solid performance. We continue to adopt the latest information technology in order to provide ease of transaction to customers. The award I accept today is not solely mine, but belongs to all BCA employees from Sabang to Merauke," said Jahja.

Since 2002, SWA Magazine has collaborated with Dunamis Intermaster to hold the Best CEO survey in order to find the best CEOs who can become role models for the Indonesian business community. The objective is to give appreciation to outstanding CEOs, who are able to maintain the corporate’s success. The survey methodology uses two pillars. First, leadership assessment survey. Secondly, survey on employee commitment to professionalism.

In the first pillar, SWA Magazine and Dunamis Intermaster employ Stephen Covey’s four roles of leadership which are modelling, pathfinding, aligning and empowering. Then, based on these roles, a number of questions will be given to the employees to assess their CEOs. The results appear in the Leadership Index (LI), within a range between 0-100%. Meanwhile, the second pillar is related to employee attitudes and behavior towards the organization and their work, where the results appear in Employee Commitment Index (ECI), within a range between 0-100%. The two indices are combined into an Overall Index (OI), which will then help determine the ranking of a CEO.

"Amid the highly competitive banking industry and financial technology, CEO, as the highest-level executive in command, is on the spotlight. As the head of the company, CEO is responsible for creating and executing innovative ideas in launching products and services. Within the company, CEO is obliged to foster employee enthusiasm in order to provide the best services to customers. On behalf of the management of BCA, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to SWA Magazine, Dunamis Intermaster, and parties involved in awarding The Best CEO 2018," Jahja concluded.
