WEF Selecting and grooming a leadership cadre

The Young Global Leaders, or Forum of Young Global Leaders is an "independent", non-profit organization launched by Klaus Schwab in 2004.[1]

A similar program existed for the World Economic Forum since 1993,[2][3] the: Global Leaders for Tomorrow.[4][5][6][7][8]

By its own admission, it works by connecting the Young Leaders "to a community of remarkable peers and investing further in their leadership abilities, the aim is to create a ripple effect over five years that benefits their organizations and the world."[9]

History

Launched by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum in 2004, the Young Global Leaders are governed by a board of twelve world and industry leaders, ranging from Queen Rania of Jordan to Marissa Mayer of Yahoo! and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales.[10] Schwab created the group with $1 million won from the Dan David Prize,[11] and the inaugural 2005 class comprised 237 young leaders. Young Global Leaders participate in the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, established in 2007 and known informally as "Summer Davos", alongside Global Growth Companies and other delegations to the World Economic Forum.[12]

Reception

BusinessWeek's Bruce Nussbaum described the Young Global Leaders as "the most exclusive private social network in the world",[13] while the organization itself describes the selected leaders as representing "the voice for the future and the hopes of the next generation".

Selection process

Representing over 70 different nations, Young Global Leaders are nominated by alumni to serve six-year terms and are subject to veto during the selection process. Candidates must be younger than 38 years old at the time of acceptance (meaning active YGLs are 44 and younger), and highly accomplished in their fields.[14][15][16] Over the years, there have been hundreds of honorees, including several popular celebrities, alongside recognized high achievers and innovators in politics, business, academia, media, and the arts.[17]

Olivier Oullier“In France, the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum held in Davos is too often mistakenly perceived as the place where world leaders secretly decide our future. For a lot of people in my country, Davos seems to embody the “evil capitalists”. This is particularly true in French academia. So much so that, when I was applying for my full professorship, I was strongly advised to hide that the Forum made me a Young Global Leader a couple of months earlier. In many countries this honor would have helped me get the job. Not in France.”Olivier Oullier4 February 2013
