Abstract
Leader credibility is the perception of the source of the ability and readiness to influence others to achieve the desired goals. The process of influencing to achieve goals is a leader who is able to form a clear and rational vision oriented towards the future. Leaders who have credibility are respected by many people, have influence and contribution in solving problems. Also, the leader will maximize all its potential to create a clean and authoritative government that is free from corruption practices. The success will be continuously socialized both individually and in a mass that gave birth to changes in the behavior of people who are anti-corruption. The presence of a leader like this is very expected, because he is a figure who accelerates efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption practices. Leader credibility is needed, because the basic philosophy is claimed to be someone who will give better enlightenment in life. The leader will optimize his role in developing a national strategy in combating corruption. In the short and long term eradication is to create a government that is clean from corruption practices. The inherent credibility of the leader will always have a high commitment in carrying out his leadership in anti-corruption, transparency, and responsibility, working in accordance with his duties, functions, and authority.
