I am honored to have partnered with the Royal Civil Service Commission (RCSC) and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in supporting this important leadership initiative in Bhutan.
What inspires me most is that this program was not imposed from the outside—it was requested by the Ministry itself. That is what real transformation looks like. Great organizations recognize that leadership is not just about managing people; it is about building the capacity of people.
A coaching culture is not another leadership program. It is a fundamental shift in how leaders develop others. When leaders move from telling to coaching, they unlock greater ownership, accountability, innovation, and performance across their teams.
Over the past three years, it has been a privilege for CTI to work alongside Bhutan’s leaders as they build coaching capabilities across government. We have witnessed a genuine commitment to creating a culture where leadership is measured not by authority, but by the ability to help others grow.
The future belongs to organizations that continuously expand the hashtag#capacity of their people. Bhutan is demonstrating what is possible when leadership development becomes a national priority.
My sincere thanks to Hon’ Tashi Pem (RCSC Chairperson), The Royal Civil Service Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and all leaders who embraced the learning with curiosity, humility, and a commitment to serve.
