> I think an MBA will help you be a better manager if you want to be, because at least there's some clue about what a "good" manager should look like.
I think even that part is disputed; we really don't know what a good manager looks like. Some of what's taught in MBA classes now is the opposite of what was previously taught, and there seem to be as many failure stories as success stories. I do take your point that maybe just thinking about anything other than the authoritarian mode is enough to raise a manager above the average, which is distressingly plausible.
