achieve something great that seemed impossible before

understand themselves and gain new skills

Self-Aware Responsible for the World

AIESEC is enabling life-long leadership journey for young people. Based on unique nature of the organization

and essential elements to trigger leadership journey, we want to develop the following:

Effective Communication

Aware of strengths and

weaknesses;

Know personal values

and purpose in life

Aware of the world‟s issues, take ownership

for it and act

Can engage others with personal purpose and

values;

Can communicate effectively and build networks

I & myself I & others

I & the world

Self-Aware

Effective Communicati

on

Responsible for the World

Leaders who are self-aware know their values and purpose, and stick to it.

Leaders who have good self-awareness, know themselves well enough to recognize and

acknowledge when they have reached their limits. These limitations might be in areas of

personal knowledge, understanding, skills or gifting. Such leaders acknowledge the point

at which they need other people.

Self-awareness also enables leaders to stay composed and balanced, particularly when

under pressure or in a crisis. When challenged or criticized, this “shock absorber” of self-

awareness gives a person the ability to respond constructively.

Self-awareness enables person to lead authentically.

Self-Awareness

We aim to inspire young people to take responsibility for the world and use their

potential to address world issues, because we believe that living for one‟s own good is not

enough.

Responsibility for the world starts with awareness about existing issues and belief that

one young person can bring a change.

„The world‟ can mean anything from local community, city to the whole world.

Responsibility for the World

Effective communication helps us better understand a person or situation and enables us

to resolve differences, build trust and respect, and create environments where creative

ideas, problem solving, affection, and caring can flourish.

In the information age, we have to send, receive, and process huge numbers of messages

every day. But effective communication is about more than just exchanging information;

it's also about understanding the emotion behind the information.

Effective communication combines a set of skills including ability to express your own

thoughts, attentive listening, the ability to manage stress in the moment, and the

capacity to recognize and understand your own emotions and those of the person you‟re

communicating with.

By communicating effectively you can improve relationships, build strong team and

network around you to achieve common purpose.

Effective Communication

But it depends a lot on individual and his current capabilities

Taking individual responsibility with clear goal is a first step in the outer journey of leadership development

Your role and environment surrounding you pushes to go out of the comfort zone and enables you to learn.

Diversity of stakeholders and its quantity influences on leadership development. For example, interaction with diverse cultures or different types of stakeholders (boss-customer-colleague; AIESEC-company-NGO, etc.).

In the outer Journey there should be some support system for the inner journey. It can be a mentor, coach, buddy, etc. Support system can be provided by AIESEC or any other external stakeholder.

Inner Journey

Going through self-reflection exercises to understand how you are achieving personal goals, changing throughout the experience, and capture your learnings and realizations.
