What kind of leader do I want?


Dear reader,

The Kingdom of Bhutan became a democracy on the 24th of March 2008. The Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, decided to give his power to the people. Although the majority of the Bhutanese didn't like the idea, they went to vote because their beloved King told them to do so.

As it is said in Buddhist philosophy: Everything is in constant change and not lasting... so, here comes the change: democracy.

I would like to share with the reader these beautiful thoughts from Tashi Gyeltshen (a freelance writer and a filmmaker) about leadership. He wrote this entry 2 days before the elections. I am sure it will make everyone think about how a leader should be.


... for those who want to know more, Tashi Gyeltshen owns this worth seeing blog about Bhutan. The blog is plenty of interesting articles, opinions and photos!


Tashi delek,

Tsering Om.
