One of Andy's shared google reader items is an article about playing games and gaining leadership skills in MBA programs.

"According to research by IBM and start-up firm Seriosity, people who play MMOGs like World of Warcraft naturally learn some of the same leadership techniques taught to MBAs. Indeed, every skill expected of leaders in the well-studied Sloan Leadership Model was found to be echoed in online games."

DAMN! I guess it maybe it's a good thing I dropped out of my Business Honors program when I was an undergrad :P If I am not good at WoW, maybe I would have sucked in the business world in general.

If I become your next CEO, it isn't because of any skills gained in my MMO gameplay.
