1 INTRODUCTION

The Indonesian nation is required to be able to stand

firmly as a sovereign nation while simultaneously

being able to respond and anticipate any changes in

the global strategic environment, regional, and

national. The condition of the Indonesian as a nation

as a diverse nation of various tribes, religions, races

and ethnic groups (SARA) in the realization of

nationalism is being tested. The various problems

political, economic, social, legal supremacy and

national cases such as terrorism, radicalism,

community life intolerance, drugs, corruption of

some leaders of the State Higher Institution and

various cases of election of local government leads

on SARA tearing the soul of national unity. By the

end of the situation if not intelligently managed may

result in the dissolution of a State of the nation.

Indonesian people needs the strong leaders to

solve the problem who have integrative leadership,

communicative, accommodative and capable,

credible and wise, consistent, firm and appropriate to

be figure of the people (Lemhannas Alumni, 2006,

p.226). Ironically in such a situation, when the

nation wants to get out and survive the problem, the

Indonesian nation is experiencing a crisis of national

leadership. Regeneration as an effort of human

readiness (Thomas Suyatno, 2012, p.7) in preparing

the quality of human resources who have character,

integrity, be educated, competent and have the

strategy insight as well as statesman not well

conceptualized.

Various educational institutions in Indonesia

seek to contribute to improve the quality of human

character, integrity and identity based on the cultural

history of the Indonesian nation. One educational

institution has special vision and mission for

national leaders Cadre Program, namely Taruna

Nusantara Senior High School (SMA TN). The

cadre Program of Nation leaders have been held in

SMA TN since 1990 (Notarial Deed No. 21, 1990)

and produces alumni with an average of 15 people in

each province of Indonesia with a strategic position

in his work (Document SMA TN, 2016).

The education system at SMA TN is

implemented in boarding school which is realized in

the form of Tri Education Center which includes; the

atmosphere of family, school, and society by

using the Among method as follows: (1)

teaching with emphasis on intellectual potential

(cognitive), (2) training with emphasis on skills

(psychomotor), (3) national character (enculturation

and internalization within the framework of national

character building) transformed the fanatical mindset

of ethnic /local/religious behavior into Nusantara

(affective) culture.

2 THEORICAL FRAMEWORK

Implementation of the cadre of national leaders is

interesting to be examined scientifically because the

result is the human competent and effective as

human superior. Superior and competent human

figures as defined under HCM requirements are

intellectual capital, organizational capital and social

capital as national capital (Sandra Burud and Marie

Tumolo, 2004, p.11).

The relevance of the fifth disciplines of science

is due to conceptual descriptions: (1) Organizational

theory discusses social structure, participation,

purpose, technology, and environment (David Jafee,

2001, p 2). Whereas (2) organizational behavior

theory discusses the nature of people including:

individual differences, whole human being,

motivated behavior and one's dignity and the

organizational nature of social system and

mutual interest (Manahan P. Tampubolon, 2012,

p.7).

Furthermore, (3) HRM has linkages to the cadre

of national leaders because the HRM framework

includes: competitive challenges, human resources

and employee concerns (Bohlander, Snell, 2009,

p.5), and (4) HCM because the context is human

readiness that is preparing the plenary as a

competent and effective leader of the nation in

leading the nation to realize the goals of the nation

(Suyatno, Thomas 2012). (5) Human Capital

Management is a system for improving the

performance of those in core competencies (Hall,

Bradley W, 2008. p.4).

The values of the collaboration result of the

scientific discipline systemically become the basis of

the need, the goals and objectives of the program of

organizing the cadre of Indonesian leaders in SMA

TN and showing nothing contradictory, even the

result led to the values of the competence of the

expected leader of the Indonesian nation.

Description of the theory and the concept if

described in the application of the relationship

element of the implementation of the cadre of

national leaders in SMA TN are as follows:

Figure 1: Application of interdisciplinary relationships in terms of the implementation of national leader cadre

programs in high school TN.

The collaboration from scientific discipline produces

two levels:

strategies of the Indonesian nation to

realize its national goals.

2) The Micro level is the implementation

values that are used as guidance in the

process of the cadre of the leader of the

nation in SMA TN.

The Issues raised in the research of regeneration

of leaders of the nation in SMA TN, namely: (1) is

there relevant the implementation of the nation's

leader regeneration in SMA TN with the interests of

the Indonesian nation, (2) on the macro level,

whether the values of the collaboration result of the

scientific discipline systemically be the basis of the

needs, goals and objectives of the program of

managing the regeneration of Indonesia leaders in

SMA TN? (3) In micro level, the emphasis is to

know how the stages of process of the nation's leader

regeneration in accordance with Stake's

Countenance Model include: (1) how the basic

needs, objectives of the program and educational

instruments, (2) how the process of organizing i.e.;

recruitment, teaching, learning, training, parenting

and supervision, and (3) how the results of

achievement.

3 RESEARCH METHOD

institution and the students of SMA TN. The data

obtained are tested its validity using data

triangulation techniques that include triangulation of

data sources, triangulation of data collection

techniques and time triangulation.

Data analysis techniques using Miles and

Huberman through the process of data reduction

process, data presentation and

conclusion/verification. Evaluation uses the Stake

Countenance Model, through three stages: (1) the

input/antecedents, (2) the process phases

(transactions) and (3) the outcomes. Records of the

empirical conditions of these aspects at each stage,

then compared to the evaluation criteria. For

knowing the suitability of each aspect with the aim

(intents) is done congruence and contingency

analysis. At the end of the analysis, the results of the

evaluation are interpreted into three categories: (1)

high, (2) moderate and (3) low.

6 CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, the evaluation of national leader's

cadre program in SMA TN at all stages is done

according to the standard and criteria, with average

achievement value in Antecedences, Transactions

and Outcomes stages respectively 88.2%, 90.7%,

and 92%.

To achieve the expected conditions, these are

some recommendations to be considered:

1) Concept Development is highly suggested to

be increase, namely: the concept of

organizational development, the concept of

education management development, the

concept of personnel management

development, the concept of financing/funds.

2) The strategies adopted include:

Development of Organizational Structure,

Development of HRM Strategy and Building

and Expanding Institutional Relations.

3) Creating strategic plan of roadmap/blueprint

for the short, medium and long term as the

basis of development based on the concept

predetermined.

4) Maintaining and improving the quality of

SMA TN and its components and always

updating to respond to the challenges of

change so that the public trust is established

as a selected educational institution.

5) Updating special curriculum of SMA TN

in order to add subject materials that reach

the macro values.

6) Continuous socialization to the community

and all stakeholders about the importance of

the right education in addressing the

challenges of the nation of Indonesia in the

future. The step of the regeneration of the

Indonesian nation leaders carried out by

SMA TN will get support and reinforcement

in realizing the goals of education.

7) The Indonesian Defense Minister as the SMA

TN Trustees needs to issue policies related to

the TNI Law No. 34 of 2004 which prohibits

active TNI being assigned to be instructor as

SMA TN officials. This is very necessary to

prevent the decline in the quality of teachings

in the field of service, training and care.

8) It is necessary to build the University of

Nusantara, whose scientific uses are adjusted

to the potential of student's origin regions, as

a continuation of the concept of regional

human investments, creating human capital

that is ready to lead their region.

9) Mechanism Procedure of SMA TN needs to

be made in the form of a guidebook equipped

with IT applications as a reference in

arranging harmony of work relationships

between functions/elements therefore it will

be more effective and efficient and facilitate

supervision.

10) Information and technology (IT) of education

needs to be continuously improved in line

with the needs of the continuing education of

SMA TN, in particular can guarantee and

protect the interference, the entry of

information contrary to the values of

education through gadgets.

11) Special treatment for students from certain

regions needs to be continued as a

consequence of fulfillment of archipelagic

unity in diversity.

12) Monitoring results of internalization of

leadership values of high school alumni who

work in various agencies needs to continue to

be done as consideration in the

implementation of education in SMA TN.
