environments, several general characteristics, skills and knowledge are expected of everyone.
Intellectual and psychological

adaptability to change, sense of responsibility, capacity of analysis, patience, list ening,
and supportiveness but also you have to keep in mind that the most important thing is to
understand why as a leader of this amazing organization in AIESEC in Colombia you are
doing what you are doing. Great leadersinspire action and lead consciously.

Society knowledge
A broad knowledge of world and organizational systems, current trends and issues facing
society and cultural issues are important to lead a Local Committee. Practical
understanding of new management theories (e.g. learning organization, self-organizing
systems) is also important in managing the diverse environments in which AIESECoperates. In addition, each position requires skills and knowledge in the areas of financial
management and budgeting, project management, human resources management, and
good understanding of English.

AIESEC understanding
A broad understanding of the association is required in order to execute an LCEB position
properly. An understanding of our vision, values, identity, current direction, countrydevelopment, and systems is certainly something we will look for in all candidates.

Other
Overall, there is no perfect candidate profile; however, good candidates will possess
strong competencies in the areas of social behavior, motivation, task orientation, and
people management skills. The key component is balance - within the individuals and
within the team of individuals!
And don’tforget, this year we are UNITED IN PURPOSE AND GROWING THROUGH ACTIONS!
