Everyone knows I haven’t been in a guild before, other than Ashguard Sect. Matt created the guild and assigned me as guildmaster when I was still trying to slay wolves on my first 10 minutes of gameplay. Naturally, I have no previous raiding experience. The problem is, as the guildmaster of a small guild, the task of being a raid leader fell to my lap by default by the time I reached level 80.
The reality is, I am soft, emotional, and a people pleaser. Unfortuantely, these characteristics spell epic fail in leadership. Despite all that, I still want to become a great leader and hopefully I’ll be able to bring that skill in real life [ack, such a daunting task]. It’ll be tough trying to change something that has been there for 23 years, but I will do it, even if I have to start in a game.
It might take a while but someday, I want to be a woman who doesn’t mind taking charge and saying “this is how we’re gonna do it”, “follow me”, and be able to tell someone they’re wrong without being afraid. To have no problem grabbing the bull by the horns and saying “Let’s go”.

There’s all kinds of leaders though. Most people don’t know how to be leaders and are terrible people. Some people think being in charge is being mean to the people below you or making mistakes and not being accountable for them. Some people think it’s okay to ignore the feelings of those under them and not listen to them at all.
However, true leadership isn’t forced on people and respect/authority for the leader is earned, not out of fear/force.
Sadly, this isn’t the case most of the time and good leaders are rare.
