More than 1,600 public servants in the east have attended the Royal Institute of Governance and Strategic Studies’ Mobile Leadership Training Programme so far. The programme focused on leadership and followership, effective communication skills, organizational culture, and AI and prompt engineering for ChatGPT has been conducted in Pema Gatshel, Trashi Yangtse, Trashigang, Lhuentse and Monggar districts.
In Monggar, the first cohort with around 220 public servants attended a three-day long programme in Keydeykhar Higher Secondary School.
The second cohort is attending the programme which started yesterday.
Nima Wangdi, a teacher at Monggar Middle Secondary School said “such training programme at the district level provides platform for interested participants to attend and also reduces the government’s expenditure. It is beneficial, particularly for those who will become future leaders.”
Sonam Deki, Research Officer working at ADRC, Wengkhar said “personally, I do not have confidence in public speaking. Although the skill is required in my profession, I was not trained and I lack the skill. Through this training, I can train myself to gain that skill.”
Chewang Rinzin, the director of RIGSS said “we are very hopeful of positive outcome. That being said, it is very difficult to measure or ascertain such an impact. They will be felt or seen down the line. So long as the participants, each one of them used whatever knowledge, skill, idea, framework and tools they learned from this training for themselves to grow as a leader and also to be more effective at work, so long as that happens, we are hopeful there will be positive outcome.”
The Royal Institute of Governance and Strategic Studies will continue providing Mobile Leadership Training Programme to public servants in all 20 districts.
The Mobile Leadership Training programme initially started in March from Pema Gatshel.
