Seriously, we need to support women’s leadership in the Caribbean – Petchary’s Blog

In my last post, I wrote about vision (or the lack thereof) among our leaders. Many of them can’t see further than their noses; and frankly, I wonder how some of them ever reached the lofty positions they hold (and hold onto). These “leaders” are devoid of substance.

So, my question is: Why aren’t there more women in leadership positions in the Caribbean? Caribbean Women in Leadership (CIWiL), a Trinidad-based, non-partisan, independent, networking organization, talks a great deal about “transformational” leadership. However, in order to change others, to shake things up, women must transform themselves in certain ways.They must see themselves as leaders. It’s a delicate, complicated, but necessary process.

Needless to say, women inevitably meet up against that subtler, underlying, undermining gender bias, which can express itself in various ways, large and small. It is there. Face it. And deal with it!

One Caribbean woman who has no doubt experienced this bias during her career (yes, we all have), has emerged as an accomplished and impressive leader. Therese Turner-Jones is an economist and strategic thinker with over 25 years’ experience in the region, who is currently serving as Director of Projects at the Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). Bahamian by birth, she spent a decade in Jamaica, where she truly made her mark as General Manager for the Caribbean and Country Representative at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in Kingston. Anyone who met and worked with her in Jamaica would vouch for her open, insightful and expert leadership. I wrote this about her on her departure from IDB.

Now, Ms. Turner-Jones is vying with two male aspirants for the position of President of the CDB. Astonishingly (or perhaps, not) Turner-Jones would be the first woman in 54 years to even be nominated for the position, let alone win – as one hopes she will. Those voting are mostly men, too – some twenty or so Board Governors. An announcement will be made on October 10.

I believe the CDB needs to pick itself up, shake itself off and pick a woman leader, to lead the bank forward into what could be choppy, challenging waters. Banks have a reputation for being stuffy and conservative; a woman would bring a fresh, inclusive perspective that is badly needed in these unruly times. In 2024, nothing feels like “business as usual,” does it? Or it shouldn’t. There is so much more that could be done in the world of development, creatively and constructively – building on the bank’s solid reputation, but breaking new ground.
