Government leadership in a government area is largely determined by the capabilities of each leader. The capability referred to is the ability to carry out government tasks in accordance with the needs and interests of its people as well as the demands of the global community. It takes a leader's ability to understand the aspirations of his people and read the trends of the changing times. Contemporary public policies need to be studied carefully so that strategic issues can be selected from among the issues faced to be raised as policy problems and subsequently can be determined as a policy agenda (agenda setting).
