Abstract:
This study examines the leadership of Admiral Malahayati as an Acehnese female figure who lived
in the sixteenth century. The research question to be answered is how is the dimension of leadership
that underlies the actions of Admiral Malahayati while serving as the Royal Aceh Navy commander.
The research method is historical with the Collingwood approach. Thus, the analysis is not only
focused on uncovering historical events that appear to the eye but also the dimensions of the motives
and values contained in the actions of Admiral Malahayati. The results of the study indicate that
Admiral Malahayati is one of the Acehnese female figures who has a strong, courageous and
integrity representation of leadership values. Admiral Malahayati's leadership value is different from
other Acehnese female figures because of Malahayati's position as an Admiral in the public sector.
AdmiralMalahayai has a feminist dimension in its masculine leadership values as commander of the
Royal Aceh Navy. The paradox between feminism and masculinity became an important dimension
in his leadership in the InongBalee fleet, especially when facing polemics with the Netherlands and
Britain. |
