Using ‘Leadership Development Model’ in Sales allows us to make
AIESEC a strategic partner and not just an
organization who covers talents gaps for
companies.Moreover, the Model
explains clearly what we mean under ‘leadership’ and how we develop it,
which most of companies ask for.
Promotion
1) Information about AIESEC and its programmes on your web-site and social media channels: explain AIESEC through this model, explain how exchange develops leadership and what exactly it means.
2) Set right expectations with candidates for ELD programmes (GCDP, GIP or TMP/TLP): message of your promotion should be about ‘leadership development’ and not about ‘travelling abroad/skills development or CV enhancement’, etc.
3) Showcase stories that strengthen the message of ‘AIESEC is a leadership development organization’: post stories that talk about personal development one gained from the experience and not about cultural experiences only.

Since 2012 we are talking about AIESEC as ‘Youth Leadership Provider to the World’, we are saying that AIESEC is not an exchange organization, it is a leadership development organization. Mainly we say it internally, but if we want to be perceived this way, we should say it out loud.As a result of using the model for promotion, you can expect:- ELD participants with right
and clear expectations regarding their experience
- Brand of ‘leadership development’ organization
- AIESEC having a competitive advantage on the market: because it is not about exchange opportunity, it is about leadership development
Education
Include information into Induction
conferences/seminars, Outgoing preparation
seminars, Reintegration seminars, etc.
- AIESEC mission and our way to achieve it – ‘Leadership is a
fundamental solution’- 3 elements that we aim to
develop in every young person: Self-awareness, Responsibility
for the World and Effective Communication
- The way we do it: by providing inner and outer journey in ELD programmes ; and connect it to the experience these people are
going to get- Showcasing of stories, showing
that we have developed those 3 elements and what it meant for
young people
It not only gives members clear understanding of WHY AIESEC does
what it does but also how it works and what you can learn being in this
organization. • It makes AIESEC clear and easy to
understand, it makes ‘leadership development’ tangible and
grounded, therefore increases belief in it.
• It shows opportunities of development to ELD participants encouraging them to take more
experiences with AIESEC, as well as motivates to give their maximum to
the current experience.• It enables members to explain
AIESEC to externals as ‘leadership development organization’ and not
as ‘exchange organization’.
Build LEAD based on 3 elements – enable young
people notice their development and realize their connection to those 3 elements of the model.
- LEAD aims to provide inner journey to ELD participants, therefore make
sure that LEAD has following elements of reflection: self-
reflection on the experience gained, understanding personal values,
understanding your ‘new self’ and what this experience means for
future life- Use different tests and tools to
reflect on development of the 3 elements – connect operations they
have been doing with leadership development they gained in AIESEC
AIESEC model is based on ‘experiential learning’, but it is
proved that learning comes only if there is structured reflection
provided to capture those learnings.
Therefore, any Leadership Development Programme we run in
AIESEC (mainly LEAD) should enable young people to capture
their learnings about the experience.
Therefore, LDP should aim to provide inner journey to
participants. By using the model we can make sure we provide right inner journey; as well as connect operations they have been doing with leadership development they
got due to the experience.
We have updated NPS surveys for TMP, TLP and GCDP, GIP (completed stage only) to be able to see if our customers recommend us for leadership development or not.With these Level 1,2 issues added you can assess how your customers promote leadership development you provide through the experience.
Based on this assessment you can also learn:a) What you should explain better
during ‘education about AIESEC’b) Which elements should be stronger
present in inner or outer journey you are delivering for them: for example if they don’t recommend experience because they got good ‘communication skills’ – maybe you should include more ‘interaction with multiple stakeholders’, etc.
