Only if your curriculum is from the 1950s. Modern leadership & HR programs emphasise multiple benefits of happy workers: * More productive * Less likely to leave (which is expensive) * More motivated to share cost saving ideas which can save companies millions of dollars annually. Healthy companies can employ workers longer too. A good manager doesn't need to know how to build the product. They need to understand their market, the company's strengths, make strategic decisions and create an inspiring culture.
