A person may wonder what it takes to be a leader at any point in their lives. Such a question can arise in various contexts, such as in the army during battle training or in a school where a student is readying to step out into a completely different world. This thought may be the beginning of the path that first creates the relationship between AIESEC and leadership because all the members living in AIESEC have started their journey with this thought.

 

In AIESEC, “Leadership” is not just a concept. It is the lifeline of AIESEC. Because it develops the leader within you. A person should develop some key attributes to become a true leader. Those are character, presence, and intellect. So, these facts are automatically focused on by being an AIESECer. Moreover, leadership refers to the process of influencing people to achieve certain goals and objectives. It is something that always happens in AIESEC.

But just being an AIESECer does not make you a leader. You have to get the maximum from the opportunities there and face challenges. The famous quote says “AIESEC is like a kitchen. You decide what you want to make”. You have all the ingredients available to put them in and get a recipe. Likewise, in AIESEC, there is no one to push you into opportunities. You are the only one who is there to open doors for you. You will have to make critical decisions, make sacrifices, and do many more things by being an AIESECer. But after all these things, you will become a great leader. One day, you will influence the people around you. That is the way the bond between AIESEC and leadership arises.
