Eye-to-Eye with the world’s leaders

Over the years Carsten Sudhoff has witnessed the growing concern amongst the world’s leaders about the state of our world and a growing level of frustration about how to improve the situation. For over two years Carsten also led the Forum’s Global Agenda Council on „New Models of Leadership“, bringing together some of the brightest minds from civil society, business, academia and government in the field of leadership.

He left the World Economic Forum to start up CircularSociety, a social enterprise dedicated to implementing new ideas of leadership, to promote new concepts of training, collaboration and respect, to rethink our responsibility and to apply those scientific results that are of greatest importance to mankind.
