The Forum of Young Global Leaders is a unique, multistakeholder community of more than 700 exceptional young leaders who share a commitment to shaping the global future.
Young Global Leaders represent the future of leadership, coming from all regions of the world and representing business, government, civil society, arts & culture, academia and media, as well as social entrepreneurs.
Nominated under 40, these young leaders are proposed through a qualified nomination process and assessed according to rigorous selection criteria that creates a diverse and truly representative body, while accepting only the very best leaders who have already demonstrated their commitment to serving society at large.
Out of the thousands of candidates nominated each year, between 100 and 200 extraordinary individuals are honoured each year with the title “Young Global Leader” at which time they are invited to become Active Members and sign the YGL Charter of rights and responsibilities.
The YGL class of 2011 is composed of 190 Young Global Leaders from 65 countries and all stakeholders of society (business, civil society, social entrepreneurs, politics and government, arts and culture, and opinion and media). The new class represents all regions: East Asia (50), South Asia (18), Europe (42), Middle East and North Africa (13), sub-Saharan Africa (14), North America (36) and Latin America (17). This year’s selection has more gender parity than ever, with 44% women.
Watch David Aikman, head of the Forum of Young Global Leaders, talk about this year's selection.
Watch what the 2011 Young Global Leaders answered to the following questions:
- What are the characteristics of the next generation of leaders?
- What, according to you, are the challenges and opportunities of this generation?
- What do you hope to give and get from the YGL community?
Set up as an independent not-for-profit foundation, under the supervision of the Swiss Government, the Forum of Young Global Leaders works in close cooperation with the World Economic Forum to integrate young leaders into deep interaction with other stakeholders of global society.
YGL Active Members are involved in virtually all of the meetings, research and initiatives of the World Economic Forum, representing the views and interests of the next generation of leaders. Young Global Leaders have a powerful role in determining the activities of the YGL Community, which is governed by a Foundation Board and managed by a small team in Geneva.
The Forum of Young Global Leaders is building a next-generation leadership community that is mission-led and principle-driven, while being inclusive but merit-based.
Our objectives are to:
- Convene a diverse global community of peers by bringing together Young Global Leaders at summits, regional events, leadership development programmes and community-organized gatherings around the world. YGLs are encouraged to learn from each other, and with each other, in a search for forward-looking and innovative solutions to present-day problems. YGL events are dynamic, interactive gatherings that focus on collaboration across traditional “divides” and where every participant is an active one.
- Catalyse the next generation of leaders through personal experiences that enable YGLs to build knowledge and engender a better understanding of global challenges and trends, as well as to further enhance their unique role as leaders within their organizations and the broader community. Insights come from dedicated educational modules (such as the “Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century” module at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government); informal, interactive, off-the-record sessions with high-profile world leaders; and peer-to-peer coaching opportunities.
- Positively impact the global agenda by engaging the YGL community in initatives and task forces related to specific global challenges which they identify collectively. YGLs bring their diverse skill-set to tackle a range of issues using their expertise, knowledge and networks to make a sound contribution to the world. In that sense, the YGL Community is a distinctive balance of rights and responsibilities.
Check out the YGL Institutional Brochure with some outstanding YGL community stories and profiles.
Our YGL Community Lead Partner, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, has produced a special edition of their corporate magazine featuring many inspiring and impressive YGL stories. You can check it out at http://www.meet-the-ygl.com
After their tenure of five years, YGLs can join the YGL Alumni Community.
Selection Process
The Forum of Young Global Leaders has established a comprehensive selection process for identifying and selecting the most exceptional leaders 40 years of age or younger. Every year, thousands of candidates from around the world are proposed and assessed according to rigorous selection criteria.
Only the very best candidates are selected and all efforts are extended to create a truly representative body. First, the shortlisted candidates are evaluated by Heidrick & Struggles, recognised as one of the world's leading executive search and leadership consulting firms. As a final step in the selection process, the candidates are screened by the Selection Committee.
Reflecting the diversity of stakeholders, the Young Global Leaders include leaders from politics, business, civil society, academia, and arts and culture across seven geographic regions. Together, they form a unique community that can dramatically affect the lives of future generations and craft innovative responses to address global and regional challenges.
Candidates for Young Global Leaders are selected based on the following criteria:
- He/she is 40 years of age or younger at the time of nomination (to be eligible for the nomination and selection process of the Class of 2013, the candidate must have been born on or after 1 January 1973).
- He/she has a recognized record of extraordinary achievement and a proven track record of substantial leadership experience. Typically, this means 5-15 years of outstanding professional work experience and a clear indication of playing a substantial leadership role for the rest of his or her career.
- He/she has demonstrated a commitment to serve society at large through exceptional contributions, and have a global perspective.
- He/she must have an impeccable record in the public eye and good standing in his/her community, as well as show great self-awareness and a desire for learning.
- Candidates from the business sector must be responsible for the full operation of a qualifying corporation or division and must hold one of the following titles: President, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director, Managing Partner or Publisher, or equivalent of any of the above. If the company is a Member or Partner of the World Economic Forum, the candidate requires the approval of the CEO or Chairman of the Board of the respective company.
- Companies, organizations and entities can only nominate one candidate from the qualifying company every two years.
- Kindly note that self nominations are not accepted.
**The deadline to submit nominations for the class of 2013 is June 30 2012**
