“Leadership Is Not About You—It’s About Those You Serve” Conversation with Former Minister Sandiaga Uno

In this powerful episode of A Legacy of Purpose: Conversations with Dina H. Sherif, we sit down with Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno—Indonesia’s former Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, a seasoned entrepreneur, and global thought leader in inclusive development.From scaling businesses after the Asian Financial Crisis to creating millions of good-quality jobs during COVID-19, Minister Uno’s story is one of resilience, vision, and deep commitment to public service. Together, we explore how his entrepreneurial background shaped his approach to governance, why he believes entrepreneurship is a form of resistance to the status quo, and how countries like Indonesia are rewriting their global narrative through innovation, digital storytelling, and youth empowerment.We also dive into his reflections on faith, family, AI, and the creative economy’s power to shape culture and commerce.Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.Host: Dina SherifProduced by Sherif ShafieFor Media Inquiries:Sherif ShafieSloan School of ManagementMassachusetts Institute of Technology292 Main St, E38, 5th Floor, Cambridge, MA 02142
