You don't take an MBA to learn how to manage people. An MBA teaches you about the fundamentals of business and organizations: Finance, economics, microeconomics, marketing, accounting, management accounting, and a lot of stuff in between. MBA's are 'business wonks' - they may or may not make good leaders or managers. The tool of the software developer is code, the tool of the MBA is a spreadsheet or an analysis framework. It's not remotely about people skills.
