YGL program at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government
In this video, Leslie Maasdorp and I speak about the program we just attended that Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government created for the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders.
Entitled Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century, the program has been described by the World Economic Forum and written about by Harvard, so this takes the participant’s perspective.
Intended for those members of the YGL community considering the program, I invite other attendees to add comments that would help those considering the program this Spring.
Previous YGL postings can be seen here.
I found the program highly intense and extremely rewarding on several levels:
1- Knowledge: The Kennedy School gathered a range of A-team of faculty from across Harvard and MIT to present great overviews of issues ranging from global security and climate change to trade and demographics.
2- Skills: The Kennedy School brought in professors from at least three business schools (Harvard, Wharton and Stanford) to work on a variety of skills from negotiation and improved decision-making to the skills needed for creating and leading a team.
3- Participants: As in every YGL gathering, the participants themselves are a highlight. Really great group of people, each of whom has more than one amazing story.
This program was incredible!
Through the many presentations and interactive sessions, we have been exposed to such a diverse range of perspectives on the problems facing our world today - with an underlying sense of hope in our capacity shape the future. The power of our individual and collective leadership is yet to be fully realized - and I know that coming together as a community has been an important step in a critical process of change.
Let’s continue to learn and grow together!
