Sandrine Joseph named Young Global Leaders 2012 – World Economic Forum
I’m so delighted to share with you the informations of my nomination as Young Global Leader 2012 of the World Economic Forum. We are joining a community of 192 talented people worldwide. More than an honour, this nomination is also responsabilities regarding Young Global Leader’s Forum mission statement :
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.
I share this honour with 3 other French people :
- Christel Heydemann, Executive Vice-President, Human Resources and Transformation at Alcatel-Lucent
- JR, Artist
- Nabila Ramdani, Freelance Journalist
