Professor Gilbert Probst
A global leader must desire to contribute to the world’s economic, social and political progress, and the Forum’s Global Leadership Fellows Programme is specifically designed to help prepare its participants for such a role. In this intense work environment, comprehensive global understanding becomes possible quickly. Instead of one culture, one industry and one type of interaction, there are global visions, global organizational contexts, publicprivate partnerships, global frameworks and cross-border problems and challenges. What makes this programme unique is that it sits at the intersection of the business world, the public sector and civil society. In a world growing as fast as it is shrinking, in which the most pressing challenges are increasingly interconnected and where winning strategies are those that are comfortable with diversity, the need for global leadership is more than acute.
The Global Leadership Fellows Programme finds, develops and prepares these leaders for the world at large. Not only am I proud to be the dean of the best of the best global leadership programmes known to me, I am also proud to be contributing to the World Economic Forum’s future success stories. We are creating, within the Forum’s truly global environment, future global leaders who will be tomorrow’s movers and shakers.

True leadership is exemplified by those who are able to energize individuals and teams; empower, fertilize and build communities; and recognize and form the talent around them. They are the coaches, learners, teachers and mentors who demonstrate the discipline it takes to make changes to other people’s lives and to our world.
