The figure, the leader, is Drs. Ayyub Salahuddin. Prior to assuming the position as Head of Gunung Sari Subdistrict since 6 March 2015, Rappocini District, he has been experiencing several different positions.

For Ayyub, as the spearhead of the public service program, continuous evaluation to all his staffs should be performed. In order to measure staffs' performance, some indicators are considered such as human resource competence in administrative works, communication skill to encourage public participation and engagement, leadership, integrity, loyalty, and physical as well as mental capabilities in managing the services.
