Abstract

Abstract. Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES) in Bengkal Village, Kranggan District, Temanggung Regency, Central Java, have been formally established since 2016 but only started activities in 2021 by updating BUMDES managers and equipping BUMDES with Village Regulations. There is a problem in managing BUMDES, namely managers' weak human resources ability. Pioneering a BUMDES is hard work that requires strong leadership and motivation to face all problems and obstacles in the management of BUMDES. BUMDES managers in Bengkal Village still need to strengthen these leadership and motivation abilities. Therefore, the solution to this problem is by empowering BUMDES, especially in leadership training and motivation for BUMDES managers. The objectives of this activity are 1) to identify the obstacles and challenges faced by BUMDES managers, 2) to improve the leadership skills and motivation of BUMDES managers, and 3) to improve the problem-solving ability of BUMDES managers. Thus, there are several activities in this PKM Program, namely 1) Focus Group Discussion in identifying obstacles and challenges for BUMDES, 2) training on leadership and motivation for BUMDES managers, and 3) training on problem-solving for BUMDES managers. This activity involves BUMDES managers, village officials, business unit actors, and village youth.
