&lt;p&gt;The MBA is not a vocational degree anymore, says NYU-Stern&amp;rsquo;s Dean Thomas Cooley. Not at the top schools, at least. At the best business schools, students engage their business minds in all sorts of ways--not just critically and analytically, but historically and ethically. And that&amp;rsquo;s more than what you get out of an apprenticeship model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;object id=&quot;flashObj&quot; width=&quot;645&quot; height=&quot;364&quot; data=&quot;http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;data&quot; value=&quot;http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;bgcolor&quot; value=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashVars&quot; value=&quot;videoId=721562999001&amp;amp;playerID=651017566001&amp;amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAGuNzXFE~,qu1BWJRU7c26MMkbB19ukwmFB5ysvYz5&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;dynamicStreaming=true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;base&quot; value=&quot;http://admin.brightcove.com&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;seamlesstabbing&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;swLiveConnect&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;src&quot; value=&quot;http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;flashObj&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;videoId=721562999001&amp;amp;playerID=651017566001&amp;amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAGuNzXFE~,qu1BWJRU7c26MMkbB19ukwmFB5ysvYz5&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;dynamicStreaming=true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Dean Cooley also addresses the question of whether leadership can be taught. He says something like, you can teach certain techniques&amp;hellip; some people think you can teach it&amp;hellip;it&amp;rsquo;s a process. But, confusingly, he then defines a good leader as a person with character and values, clear goals, hard focus and superior communication skills&amp;mdash;soft skills. So his answer is no...but yes? It almost seems like he thinks no but, for obvious reasons, says yes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object id=&quot;flashObj&quot; width=&quot;648&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; data=&quot;http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;bgcolor&quot; value=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashVars&quot; value=&quot;videoId=719979023001&amp;amp;playerID=651017566001&amp;amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAGuNzXFE~,qu1BWJRU7c26MMkbB19ukwmFB5ysvYz5&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;dynamicStreaming=true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;base&quot; value=&quot;http://admin.brightcove.com&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;seamlesstabbing&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;swLiveConnect&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;src&quot; value=&quot;http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;flashObj&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;videoId=719979023001&amp;amp;playerID=651017566001&amp;amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAGuNzXFE~,qu1BWJRU7c26MMkbB19ukwmFB5ysvYz5&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;dynamicStreaming=true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;[Big Think]&lt;/p&gt;
