UNLEASH THE POTENTIAL OF FEMALE LEADERS
How can Bhutan unleash the potential of more female leaders? At the moment, female leaders are under-represented in the country. In my 5 years as the Leadership Faculty in the Royal Institute of Governance and Strategic Studies (RIGSS), I have encountered nearly 900 leaders in training. Of these, less than 1 in 5 are women leaders.
RIGSS does not set any quota on gender, because entry to a RIGSS course is based on merit. However, it does not bode well for Bhutan that a premier national leadership institute would witness such a skewed distribution of gender participation in its milestone courses. For a small nation, every talent is particularly precious. It will be a huge waste to continue allowing such a steep discount in terms of talent development.
