Often the most memorable lessons are when we fail. In the real world, (especially in business), that can be costly. So why, in something as crucial as leadership, do we not play games to learn this skill where the costs are low? With massively multiplayer games like World of Warcraft we have an opportunity to start learning leadership and make mistakes. Without destroying a thing.
In this talk, I'll share eight leadership lessons I learned by playing WoW and give examples of times, both in-game and in real life, where I applied the lessons (or where I had a pretty epic fail because I didn't).
I didn't set out to learn how to lead in World of Warcraft, but I did. It has paid off in my professional career more than any other training.

2. “There is not another form of technology on this planet that has
kept up with games. The game industry marches on in the way
it does because it has this dream that, one day, it’s going to be
real. We’re going to have real life. We’re going to have real
characters. We’re going to have real drama. We’re going to
change the world and entertain in a way that nothing else
ever has before.”
