There are three ways to learn to lead. One is to just try getting others to do something you want them to do and continue trying different approaches until they comply. Another is to emulate someone who is a good leader. And then there is the classroom approach--you are taught by someone else.
This latter method is widely used and mostly abused. Leading is a set of behavioral skills, and a person cannot effectively teach skills that they can't perform. Imagine, for example, trying to teach a child to ride a bike when you've never ridden one yourself.
Unfortunately, classrooms are full of such instructors, especially in business schools. I have personally led social groups, work groups, and my own company for about 60 years (I'm currently 77, and began leading youth groups in my teens). In business especially, leadership involves dealing with followers who, for whatever reason, don't perform at acceptable levels. This requires skills that most people don't gain by trial and error, or even by observing others. They must be learned from an expert--someone who has actually performed them.
Professors can teach knowledge, such as math or science. But they can't teach the application of knowledge unless they have performed themselves. In fact, I've found that newly minted Ph.D. scientists and B.S. level engineers enter the workplace with no understanding of how to do proper product development or quality testing of their work.
For that reason, I urge you to find out if an instructor has real-world experience leading people in a work setting before you enroll in one of their programs.
