While research in leadership has been dominated by social scientists, leadership studies at Tufts recognizes the contributions that the humanities and technology make to our understanding of organizations and leadership, from Plato s Republic to Robert Penn Warren's All the King s Men, from the invention of the cotton gin to the invention of the Internet. Leadership studies at Tufts is a rigorous intellectual program that develops creative, analytical, and practical skills and attitudes: creative to generate a vision; analytical to assess whether creative ideas are good ideas; practical to execute ideas and persuade others of their value.
