Bachelor's degrees in Management, Organisation, and Leadership teach students how to manage operations and coordinate people in order to reach the goals set by organisations. Classes teach future graduates everything there is to know about running a business (or a department) and prepare them for administrative, managerial, and C-Level positions (e.g. CEO, CFO, COO).
You should study a Bachelor's in Management, Organisation, or Leadership if you're a natural leader and enjoy guiding people and helping them achieve their full potential. It's the ideal study option for students who keep their calm under pressure and can make decisions in high-risk high-reward situations.
Most universities offer Management, Organisation, and Leadership courses as B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science), B.A. (Bachelor of Arts), or B.B.A. (Bachelor of Business Administration) degrees. But you can also find B.Eng. (Bachelor of Engineering) degrees, which prepare students for managerial roles in the Engineering industry. It usually takes 3 years to graduate in most countries and 4 years in the US.

Students also develop skills that are essential to succeed in the business world. They range from communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and risk management to project management, motivation, delegation, creative thinking, and feedback sharing.
