If they're leading a convoy of PAC clerks from the airport to the FOB which comes under attack, they should be better leaders because of what they learned during Ranger School.  If they are a company commander at a TRADOC school, they should be better leaders because of what they learned during Ranger School.

This briefs well; however, there are a number of leadership schools in the military that do not require the time and money spent on Ranger Candidates and many of them teach more appropriate tactics. Many are just "tab chasers" that have no intention of ever using what they learned except to increase their chance of promotion. The TTPs you learn in Ranger School are minimal unless sleep and food deprivation are essential. When I was a Ft Bragg, it was a "requirement" for Senior leaders to be Ranger qualified and it had zero to do with the leadership skills we learned there.
