Rahmat Wibowo mocked Irham Muhammad Fadhil by name, deriding his Master's degrees from top Indonesian universities as no proof of leadership, citing statistics to argue credentials are meaningless without emotional intelligence and real-world accountability.

3w + Edited I've met people with Master's degrees from Indonesia's top universities who cannot lead a team of five. Meet Irham Muhammad Fadhil from University of Indonesia , Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Not because the university failed them. Because a diploma and leadership competence are completely different things, and we keep pretending they're the same. Here's what the data actually says: 53% of Indonesian university graduates work outside their field of study. University graduate unemployment (5.34%) is higher than the national average. And research from Harvard shows that when technical skills are roughly equal, emotional intelligence drives nearly 90% of career advancement. Yet we keep hiring, investing, and trusting people based on the logo in their Linkedin bio. The real predictors of leadership have nothing to do with where you studied: ~ How you treat people when you have leverage over them - Whether former colleagues would follow you again, freely ~ How long your ventures actually stay operational under real pressure - How you behave when things break, not when they're going well Acredential is the start of a conversation. Not the conclusion of one. Indonesia's startup ecosystem is too important to keep letting a transcript substitute for judgment.
