Better Leaders Through Education and Idea Exchange™

A great deal has changed since YPO’s founding 60 years ago, but certain things have remained the same: the value of a peer network and trusted mentors, the importance of ongoing education, and the need for a “safe haven” where issues can be aired in an environment of confidentiality.

Over the past six decades, YPO has maintained its core commitment to these ideals while embracing change with each successive generation of young business leaders.

“Right after I joined YPO, I needed some advice on restructuring our business. Within three weeks, I was sitting down with four of the most experienced YPOers in my area. I was amazed and touched by the incredible commitment shown, and the excellent advice that was given to me. Simply put, I would not be where I am right now without these great people.” – Hong Kong member

	“We are all CEOs in our regular lives. We are all leaders and have people who look up to us. But when you come to YPO as a leader among peers, you become far more innovative and creative. You also become a better human being.” Toby Malhoutra Bangalore, India Member since 1995
	“I joined YPO in the midst of a company crisis. Having a network of peers allowed me to share the decision-making process with neutral and dynamic leaders.” Monica de Oriol Madrid, Spain Member since 2004
