Our Collective Wisdom - Move on with democracy
If the run up to 24th march – the D-Day had been marred with all things politically dirty the immediate post election period is no better. People of all shades from the self claimed political analyst, tshogpas, bar hoppers to rumor mongers have been making the rounds fanning the already festering wounds.
Layoffs – Are our CEOs jumping the bandwagon?
Almost all of a sudden it is here. Only recently we heard of it oceans away. Today, Bhutanese employees in the corporate world are feeling the heat. It is happening to their colleagues. Their turn could be just round the corners.
Is the Bhutanese corporate world missing out the vital element in its effort to embrace change?
Finally customers are having their say in Bhutanese companies. Some business dinosaurs are dead. Others are sick. Rest are either evolving or transforming. That has apparently become the only strategy to survive and succeed. Change and keep changing has become the mantra which the Bhutanese corporate world is beginning to recite. But is our Bhutanese corporate world missing out the vital aspect of change?
CDG - Piece of DPT’s cake?
Many reasons were offered why Constituency Development Grant (CDG) is a bad idea. Almost all the other players who are institutionally accountable for a vibrant democracy criticized CDG. But the DPT government is resolved to roll out 2 million ngultrums annually to every member of the National Assembly to be dished out to their constituencies. The impudence of the DPT government to go ahead despite criticisms from all around reminds us once again what we had all along feared when DPT was elected with an overwhelming majority. Is CDG a testimony to the evils of majority based democracy?
Ban on Corporal Punishment in Bhutanese schools – is it a tall order?
Teaching in the Bhutanese classrooms are not the same today in an ever complex teaching - learning environment. Almost suddenly, the society demands the “elusive” quality education. On the other hand classrooms have become cramped. Teaching, suddenly is not a one way communication where teachers are knowledge “giver” and students knowledge “receiver”.
Bhutan's Democracy comes of age
Among the Buddhist’s six realms of existence are the demi gods and the gods who are perpetually at war against themselves. The auspicious tree –paksam Joenshing – bears its fruits in the realm of the demi gods while its roots are in the realm of the gods. The conflict over the harvesting rights of the fruits keep the beings of the two realms in constant state of warfare.

Seven E - Leadership tips
1. Empathize with your followers.
A leader who can easily jump into the shoes of the employees is at a better position to manage and lead the employees. Knowing what your employees are excited about, what causes them stress and what motivates them will greatly help leaders to shape your approach to influence. Spending social times, sharing some leisure moments together and sharing opinions on general issues would help bond the employees and the leader closer into a healthy relationship.
