I hate to say it but what does anything an MBA teaches have to do with being a good leader? Leadership can't be taught, it has to be learned. Those business analysis skills are just that, business analysis. I think the largest problems revolving around the concept of getting an MBA is the sense that with it you should be in a leadership role.I'd love that knowledge but I would never make the assumption that having knowledge means I am entitled to having a management role.

"You also need to secure scarce resources, develop cohesive teams, assemble collaborative networks and build lasting customer relationships." The author assumes if you have an MBA, you are qualified to do these things. That couldn't be further from the truth.

  LOL that's just the buzzword bingo version of post bachelors degree "successful" life. Figure out how to pay for B school while getting married and pop out some kids and keep everyone on track and happy and cooperative and tolerate the mother-in-law basically continuously and successfully. Note that the skills are only present if at all in MBA grads due to filtering on the input side, not some magic pixie dust sprinkled on during classes or as part of the credential ceremony.
