I believe it is important for the leadership of a metropolitan department to be well educated in order to manage a large department more effectively. While a formal education is not the entire answer to being an effective manager, it definitely assists a person in being better well rounded. On the job experience cannot be taught in school, but the valuable information educational institutions have to offer can teach managerial, political and financial abilities that are invaluable for upper level management.
