One of the saddest (and most hilarious) truths about leadership in these games, involves the people taking a video game so seriously that they have convinced themselves there is a 'right way to play', and have contempt for those who don't play their way. It's like these people have given up on their relationship with reality and decided that how one plays a video game is really important. Video games are so serious after all.
Video game leadership isn't all that much different than real life leadership. The hardest part is convincing people that they should do what you want them to. Thinking about it too hard, or praising your own abilities to do it is mostly a waste of your energy. Your human brain is capable of greater things.
If you belong to the hardcore play my way or else crowd, I'm embarrassed for you, and you have my pity.
