resident Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has instructed his newly appointed ministers to strictly follow his guidelines and get familiar with the cross-organizational work style he will apply for the next five years.
Speaking in his first Cabinet meeting on Monday afternoon, Jokowi underlined that his ministers' duty was to 'implement the president's vision, missions and main programs.'
'Ministerial visions and missions no longer exist we have to work and [follow] a straight line based on my direction,' Jokowi said.
Jokowi also reminded his 34 ministers to put aside their 'sectoral egos' as they would be asked to intensively coordinate with other ministers to settle certain problems.
'We can do nothing alone. The synergy will not always involve those working under the same coordinating ministry but also among coordinating ministries,' he said. (nfo)(+++)
