“Significant demographic and societal changes, fundamental technological
advances and continuous globalization, as well as complex multi-stakeholder issues
and resource scarcity define this emerging context. These changing parameters
require new type of leadership”
- At Davos 2013

“Three essentials for leaders in the new context of
the world: business frameworks, conceptual skills and
human skills.
!
Business frameworks are the knowledge to
understand complex management through viewpoints
such as strategy, marketing and operations.
!
Conceptual skills are the ability to analyze the multi-
stakeholder situation and decide what needs to be
done.
!
Human skills are the ability to be who you are to get
people involved and lead them.
!
But most importantly in the center of those 3
essentials, a personal resolve - Kokorizashi - a
mission of your life.”

“There are always different challenges and the
world always needs different things.”

We believe the solution can be constant and
fundamental.

The world needs
Leadership.

What’s the key relevance of AIESEC?

We develop LEADERSHIP for a
positive impact on society for peace
and fulfilment of human kind’s
potential

How does AIESEC do that?

Developing these frontier competencies would
require an inner and outer journey.

The World Economic Forum established that
developing the leadership the world needs, individuals
needs to be placed in a challenging environment ‘out
of your comfort zone’ (Outer journey)
but also go through an intense inner journey, a learning-from
-doing experience with reflection and value generation.

which just so happens to
be what we do in AIESEC!!

We do GCDP/GIP because living powerful
exchange experiences develops Strong Leadership

We do TMP/TLP because creating powerful team
experiences for others develops Strong Leadership.

We enable and develop strong leadership through our
Experiential Leadership Development Program

AIESEC is not an exchange organisation, we develop the
kind of needed leadership through our exchange
experience
