Developing Leaders Day

For almost six decades now AIESEC, as an international organization has recognized leadership potential in young people as a key success factor for development of new and positive society, able to fulfill al human potentials. Our endeavors in that direction have resulted with numerous exchange programs and educational conferences and other education programs. Although, in the first years it was quite a struggle, today we recognize AIESEC members on numerous important leadership positions Worldwide. We strive to impact the society in general, and young people in particular, to develop themselves and others and nourish the leadership potential we all have, all in the interest of our common better future.

Today, developing leadership on a global level is an important challenge for both the society and the business world. AIESEC is committed to developing socially responsible leaders capable to reliably act in all of the social fields. We try to activate positive leadership in young people, thus giving its contribution to the "fight" for one better world.

"Developing Leaders Day" is an all-day interactive management training program. AIESEC and its education partners have, for the better part of the century, provided young people with adequate management and leadership skills, and we find that this event is a crown jewel in our all-year round education program. By this event we try to provide the leaders of youth worldwide with knowledge they need in order to transfer the vision and values of responsibility and life long learning in leadership and management. We focus on transferring knowledge as one of the key aspects of quality leadership, aiming to adequately “equip” the delegates so they can, once back in their countries, transfer this skills and know-how to their co-workers multiplying the education effect in that way.

Potential topics among many others include accelerated learning, advanced creativity, planning, personal effectiveness, and instructing and passing the knowledge onto others. By focusing on these issues we consider to have identified the crucial or sine qua non factors for development of positive leadership focused on knowledge, learning and transfer of knowledge. We aim to improve the potential of young people to act as agents of change in their organizations of future companies.

Special emphasis will be put on the leadership in business world and participants will have a chance to understand social, cultural and business challenges that leaders of the biggest world companies are dealing with. Moreover, we will try to emphasis the importance of understanding the connection between cultural diversity and leadership positions in multicultural companies and organizations.
