IBM says MMO players make good leaders

I heard this story on NPR this morning.

The results are fascinating. Among other things, we learned that the transparent environments created in online games made leadership easier to assume. And that leadership in online games is more temporary and flexible than it is in the business world. And finally, online games give leaders the freedom to fail, and experiment with different approaches and techniques, something that any Fortune 500 company that hopes to innovate needs to understand.

Basically IBM says MMO's help to refine leadership skills. Does that mean I can now write off all my MMO time/expenses as career development? =)

I think so Rollie. I knew my 5000 days of /played paid off.
