Management education teaches you to be analytical

In simple terms management education teaches you to simply complex situations.

"Never regard your study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs." aptly said Albert Einstein.

Management education keeps you going with thoughts like, if you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people
.
The essence of management education is that it is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Adaptability is outcome of management education an even if you can be appointed a manager, but you are not a leader until your appointment is ratified in the hearts and minds of those who work with you hence, leadership skills is total sum of management  education.
