Effective training for future international affairs leaders must ensure that students learn how to be adaptable, according to Professor Daniel Drezner at The Fletcher School at Tufts University.

Drezner quotes philosopher Isaiah Berlin, who differentiated between foxes, who know a little about many things, and hedgehogs, who know one big thing. “In dealing with crises, you want a lot of foxes. You need people with the intellectual capacity, creativity, and flexibility to deal with the next crisis,” Drezner says.

This FP Guide tells the stories of professors, deans—and even a student—who are inspiring today’s graduate students. The leaders include:
