I will speak to two parts.
When I was in uniform, I was responsible for the team that developed the current leadership doctrine, so I know it quite well. It was developed in 2003-04. At the time, we did seek to inform it using gender perspectives and gender understanding, but I will say it's incomplete.
If we look at the leadership literature these days, work has been done on authentic leadership, inclusive leadership, character-based leadership and understanding the gendered nature of differences in leadership, both in how leadership is enacted and in how diverse people respond to leadership. A lot of work can be done in those domains, and quite honestly, I think this applies to those who occupy senior offices and hold the privilege of serving in public offices. There should be updates and changes. We have traditions that continue to get repeated.
The last quick comment I'll make is that most of us learn how to exercise leadership by watching people do it as we are developing in our careers. When the only role models you can see are men performing highly masculine forms of leadership, it's no surprise that both men and women growing up in that system replicate those models of leadership.
I think the Canadian Armed Forces is working very diligently to develop and promote not only women leaders but those who lead in different ways. I think that's an important thing that needs more attention and more work.
