10 Problems Every Indonesian CEO Must Solve in 2025
Unlocking Performance, People, and Profits in the New Business Era
1. Strategy Without Execution
Many CEOs invest heavily in strategy sessions, but fail to implement them. A great plan is worthless without disciplined execution. Winning companies embed strategy into daily routines and performance reviews.
2. Crisis Leadership vs. Calm Navigation
Reactive leadership is costly. CEOs who panic during downturns lose trust. The best leaders prepare calm response systems and build resilient teams that execute under pressure.
3. Silo Mentality
Departments working in isolation kill innovation. True growth comes when marketing, sales, HR, and operations share data, goals, and KPIs. Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
4. Digital Transformation Without People Alignment
Buying new tech won’t change performance if people resist it. Future-ready CEOs lead digital culture shifts, not just IT upgrades.
5. Motivational Training Without ROI
Too many companies run inspirational events with zero follow-up. CEOs must demand measurable impact: behavior change, productivity, and performance.
6. Low Middle Management Capability
Middle managers often block or distort strategy from above. Training frontline leaders in communication, coaching, and execution is no longer optional.
7. Talent Drain & Employee Disengagement
Quiet quitting is real. Top CEOs invest in purpose, not just salary. They create meaning at work, not just job descriptions.
8. No Succession Planning
Too many Indonesian companies lack future leaders. Grooming successors from within ensures culture continuity and future performance.
9. Culture of Blame
A toxic culture where employees hide mistakes slows innovation. CEOs must foster psychological safety and learning-oriented performance reviews.
10. Lack of Coaching & Follow-Through
Workshops don’t stick without follow-up. CEOs should demand coaching systems and tracking tools to make sure learning becomes action.
