Leading a guild is good for your career

Now I know why my otherwise mild-mannered guild master is taking upon himself the stress of trying to herd this particularly unruly bunch of cats: It is reported to help your career.

Sounds logical. A guild master has considerably less means to get people to do what they should than a manager. To lead a guild you need to exercise a lot of soft power, which is an excellent training for becoming a great boss in real life. If you can resolve a guild drama, there is no people situation in your company you can't handle.

Me, I'm not destined for leadership, neither in a game nor in Real Life ®. I'm more comfortable with an advisory function, and a lot less stress.
