Holiparent Food Division: Balancing Concept with Technical Implementation
There are some leaders in the company who, whenever I ask about the implementation details of an issue we are discussing during meetings, always reply, "That’s just a technical matter." I am always more wary when working with leaders like this, because they are experts at speaking at length about broad concepts but are neither willing nor able to get involved in the technical execution. In reality, my level of authority is on par with those leaders. The difference is that I maintain a balanced combination of two things: 1) developing the broad conceptual framework, and 2) designing the execution techniques for that concept.
Holiparent Food Division: Green Industry for Fresh Graduates
There are three questions I have received repeatedly from different people: 1) What is the green industry? 2) As a fresh graduate, what is the benefit of understanding the green industry? 3) How can social science graduates start learning about the green industry?
A "green industry" is one that seeks financial profit while simultaneously caring for the natural environment and fostering the well-being of the broader community. In my experience, traditional companies aim solely for financial profit (which automatically benefits the owners). Better companies aim for financial profit (benefiting the owners) as well as the well-being of their employees. Even better still—specifically, green industry companies—aim to achieve three objectives: generating financial profit (benefiting owners), ensuring employee well-being, and fostering the well-being of the community—an effort closely linked to caring for the natural environment where that community resides.
For a fresh graduate, understanding the "green industry" concept is crucial for several reasons: 1) It demonstrates that one's knowledge is up-to-date and not rooted in outdated practices that predate the green industry era. 2) It allows one to assess whether a prospective employer is driven solely by financial profit, balances profit with employee well-being, or is genuinely oriented toward the green industry. 3) It enables one to make informed career decisions—such as whether to stay for a short term (1–4 years) at a profit-only company, a medium term (4–8 years) at a company that values both profit and employee well-being, or a long-term career lasting until retirement at a green-oriented company. It is important to note that a company initially focused solely on financial profit (and owner prosperity) can gradually shift its orientation toward the green industry, even if the process takes a decade or more. Therefore, one should not hastily leave a company simply because it is not yet a green industry player; instead, while working there, one should continuously analyze the situation to detect any shifts in the company's orientation.
Recent graduates from social science programs can readily familiarize themselves with the "green industry" by integrating a focus on environmental sustainability and broader societal well-being with the technical skills acquired during their studies. For instance, graduates in Psychology or Law could study how ecology, ecosystems, and environmental science impact a company's sustainability and business development. It is crucial to understand that environmental degradation and a lack of community well-being can hinder a company's sustainability—let alone its growth—due to factors such as: 1) a poor corporate image among consumers; 2) frequent protests by local communities; 3) the risk of having operating licenses revoked by the government; and 4) a negative corporate image among employees, which causes high-quality staff to resign (moving to other companies) while deterring top-tier applicants (as a poor reputation is easily visible online or on social media).

Holiparent Food Division: English is not a dichotomy of "can" versus "cannot"
"How long have you been learning?" That is a sentence I learned from Dr. Tony Garthwaite, a visiting lecturer from Humberside Polytechnic (UK), in 1991. At the time, I was a fourth-semester undergraduate student in the Fisheries Study Program at the Faculty of Animal Science, Diponegoro University.
At that time, I not only learned about post-harvest technology from Dr. Garthwaite but also improved my English speaking skills, as he did not speak Indonesian. Dr. Garthwaite gave me tips on how to communicate fluently in spoken English.
I admit that my aptitude for learning English is not as strong as my wife's (we were classmates during our undergraduate studies in Fisheries Science at the Faculty of Animal Science, Diponegoro University). My ability also pales in comparison to my daughter's; after all, she completed her Master’s degree in Food Technology at Ghent University and KU Leuven in Belgium (where she used English in her daily life). To be honest, when I first started my undergraduate studies, I used to feel anxious about speaking English, fearing that my grammar or pronunciation might be flawed or my vocabulary limited. However, a conversation I had with Dr. Garthwaite—a native speaker—gave me the confidence to realize that it is perfectly fine not to be perfect.
My communication experiences in 1991 gave me the confidence to communicate in English, even though my English was not perfect. While working in export/import (1995–1998) and later in export marketing (1999–2002), I communicated with many people, and not all of them were fluent in English.
When I traveled to several European countries to visit my daughter, who was pursuing her master's degree in Belgium, I also met many people there whose English was not perfect.
I am sharing this experience to encourage the many people in Indonesia who feel afraid, embarrassed, or lack confidence because their English proficiency isn't as good as that of their school English teachers or university English lecturers.
In conclusion: 1) English speaking ability is not a matter of simply "can" versus "cannot." 2) I view English speaking proficiency as falling on a scale of 0 to 10. 3) I have met people in Europe whose English speaking skills were imperfect, yet they spoke the language with confidence. 4) I eventually gained the confidence to speak English, even though my proficiency level was only a 6 or 7. 5) It was precisely by consistently practicing that my ability gradually improved.
