This year’s convening of The World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland brought together approximately 2 400 corporate executives heads of government and leaders of organizations like the World Bank and Human Rights Watch to debate issues ranging from global warming to the rise of the Internet and the future of the Middle East. Michael Useem director of Wharton’s Center for Leadership and Change Management attended the five-day event. He offers his report on what he calls Davos’ ”culture of transcendent leadership ” which he defines as ”a willingness by those with company or country responsibilities to make decisions that benefit those far beyond the decision maker’s own organization or nation.”
