KUMPUL LEADERS
Hosted by KUMPUL LEADERS
A podcast for Indonesia's middle managers, offering blunt advice on navigating corporate politics, team dynamics, and leadership struggles.
This is a practical guide for the often-overlooked Indonesian middle manager. The show alternates between tag-team interviews with subject matter experts (journalists, academics, analysts) and a sharp, solo-hosted Q&A segment for direct career advice. It tackles everything from the philosophical (media ethics) to the tactical (navigating family-owned company culture) with a direct, unfiltered approach.
“The show's hyper-specific focus on the "middle man" is its core strength. It stands out by using colloquialisms like 'BUMC' (Badan Usaha Milik Cindo) to address specific, culturally-relevant workplace dynamics that are rarely discussed so openly.”
Who hosts this show
Kumpul Leaders is hosted by William Sudhana and Dwina M. Putri to support middle managers facing burnout, trust issues, and the pressure of being caught between upper management and their teams. Through candid conversations with other leaders, they dissect the challenges of the role and explore how to become a more resilient and effective leader.

What you'll be asked on this show
In the main interview format, hosts William Sudhana and Dwina M. Putri employ a conversational, tag-team style. They often open by addressing a common misconception or a recent controversy related to the topic to hook the listener. Their questions progress from broad, foundational inquiries ("What is the basis of...?") to practical applications ("What are the ideal leadership partnerships...?"). They frequently connect the guest's expertise back to their own experiences or current events, making the conversation feel relevant and grounded.
The primary format is a casual, two-host interview led by William Sudhana and Dwina M. Putri. A recurring segment, 'P3K', is a solo Q&A format hosted by Peggy Putri, who gives sharp, direct advice to listener questions.
