Fortune Indonesia has lost one of its best leaders. Yuliana Leonarda passed away on Thursday, September 1, 2016. For 34 years, she had dedicated herself to Fortune, Yuliana (deceased) played an important role in maintaining the company’s financial stability. Her blazing passion for work continued to burn even though her body cried out in pain. Who is Yuliana in the eyes of her colleagues? We present the review here. Hope it can be a remedy for missing her.
How do you see Yuliana as a partner?
She is very strict. We must be clear about what we wanted. This character made her play her role as the keeper of Fortune Group’s financial very well. She also had high integrity and had many ideas to improve the company’s profitability. As a friend, for me, she is fun to be with. (Aris Boediharjo, Director of Fortune Group)
Interesting experience with Yuliana?
There are so many experiences that I had with her. One of the most interesting ones happened about two months ago when dealing with a company from Taiwan. The client even felt overwhelmed with her. The client kept muttering to me “Oh please not again, please, please not with Bu Yuli please, please.” That’s Yuliana, very thorough, so it was not easy to deal with her. (Aris Boediharjo, Director of Fortune Group)
What do you miss the most from her figure?
No more voice calling me “Nee let’s eat…”, “Nee wait for me ..” I lost one of my regular lunch companions. She is my best friend who loved Kwetiaw. (RR, Anne Haryani, Sr. Accounts Payable)
The unforgettable thing from her figure?
Her strict character really left an impression. She can be likened as Iron Lady for Fortune. Frankly, I really salute her. (Aris Boediharjo, Director of Fortune Group)
Her thoroughness is what I cannot forget. I still remember when the office phone rang and I got a call from her, my heart was pounding of fear of making mistakes. Since, like what I said, she was very thorough. However, she also often shared experience, advice, and motivation to us. (Erica Nasution, Sr. Officer HCD)
She might look strict and stern, but with her closest people, she is actually regarded as a spoiled person. She didn’t like eating out alone so we always have lunch together. Once she got upset because Ibu Lili and I went to lunch without her, hehe… (RR, Anne Haryani, Sr. Accounts Payable)
Most memorable messages from Yuliana?
We must be proactive! If we do not have a solution to a problem, we must find it until we get it. That was the message from Ibu Yuli that I will always remember (Sari Dewi, Assistant Finance & Accounting Director)
Yuliana’s figure as a superior?
She was a very thorough and disciplined person. Even when I felt I had done a flawless job, she could still find a mistake that I could not find. Although she sometimes gave a stern impression, she was the best leader. She showed care and concern about each of her subordinate. She always asked about our condition if one of us looked pale or limp, she also did not hesitate to share food with us. Once, she offered me some food. Though she only had two of them, she shared one with me. (Amelia Ratna Sari, Accounting Officer)
She is a strict and highly motivated woman. As for herself, even though she was ill but she was very eager to work and to live her daily life. (Sari Dewi, Assistant Finance & Accounting Director)
As a boss, she is very caring. If the deadline is getting closer, I often worked overtime. When she was about to go home and saw me still in the office, she never forgot to just say hi and ask me many times if I would be okay if left alone. She was a good boss. (Erica Nasution, Sr. Officer HCD)
What leadership style did Yuliana apply?
She led us firmly and always motivated us to be better. When we made a mistake, she did not just scold us but also helped us find a solution. It spurred us to keep striving for the better. (Amelia Ratna Sari, Accounting Officer)
Although stern, she always helped us, especially when problems occurred. She intervened directly and helped us solve the problem. She also did not hesitate to give appreciation when we finish the job properly. (Iik Widiawati, Finance and Accounting Officer)
3 characters of Yuli that linger in your mind?
Thorough, thorough, and thorough. (Erica Nasution, Sr. Officer HCD)
She is a very smart, hardworking, and kind hearted person. (Liliany, Cashier)
The inspiring characters of Ibu Yuli?
Her high spirit has always inspired me. Although her body was suffering, she did not think about the pain. Her working spirit should be made an example.(Sari Dewi, Assistant Finance & Accounting Director)
She never procrastinated. If there was a work to be done, she would finish it right away. (Iik Widiawati, Finance and Accounting Officer)
