“It's a sign of great strength and self-confidence for a leader to be willing to change his or her mind,” says George Prate T’10, who experienced the empowering effects of this firsthand while serving in the United States military. “Recognizing that others may have better ideas than you can motivate people to be creative.” Prate discovered a similar philosophy at work in the study group environment at Tuck, where collaboration is essential and students learn from each other. “No one person is in charge,” he says. “We make decisions when they need to be made. As you discover in the military, people want to trust their leaders. At Tuck, we learn how to earn that trust.”
