Hey guys, Mikkel here. Just swinging by to say thanks to @Max for a great chat, and thanks to everyone here and in Twitch chat for all the kind (and slightly thirsty) words! Watching it back, I can tell how nervous I was, hah. It was a super interesting conversation, and I definitely can't wait to brew a bit more on this topic and see where it takes me. Thanks a lot for taking the time!

As a teacher we are aught to preferentially use positive correction... instead of "don't run" ...say "please walk" ... the negative can cause defensiveness and sometimes less clear of expectation... by telling them what to do to make it correct it is more respectful, more likely to get the behavior... Takes a while to train it but huge difference if you can get there.

This was so excellent. As a guild lead it really resonated with me when Max talked about how hard it is to remove a player. I agree, it is the most brutal thing to do. We share very similar views on how our teams work. We work on respect rather than dictatorial (or toxic and abusive).

"Extreme ownership", or as I like to call it as one of the veterans at my job, "social tanking". I know that I have the credibility and the social standing to weather the storm of accepting blame externally, while internally on our team we can quickly and safely work out whatever went wrong and the newer team members don't need to stress over a simple mistake impacting their job. Everyone produces better code, the team gels better, we all win.

Oddly enough my brother's path was going from a top-of-server guild leader back in Vanilla->WotLK to being a restaurant GM/regional restaurant manager, and part of his learning people leadership came from WoW and he applied it to restaurants (the other part came from a degree in restaurant management). My Dad's PhD was in leadership development, so something about apples and trees.

The bit about asking people about the best person in their guild randomly is pure gold. It's so true in so many contexts. You wouldn't immediately say that the person who's kind of a dick is the best guy on your team/whatever you're in. You're going to give the one that's making you succeed as a group. Not Dave in his socks and sandals and convention hoodie who might be really good on an individual level but isn't holding the group up.

I can imagine that it is a whole lot easier to manage a mainly US guild with the large majority having the same culture, language etc. America, albeit being a large country with some culture variations, it is in fact just one country. EU guilds have players with a vast amount of culture clashes, language barriers, different politics and country economies where players might only bond over the love of the game/the love of competitive gameplay.
@JJJBunney00110 күн бұрын
People arent that different, people accross the world in the same age range genrally enjoy similar things. Someone from the netherlands and someone from italy could still bond over a shared love of movies, music, games, sports etc. And usually orgs require members to speak a particular language and its usually English so the language barrier isnt as bad

I think I end up on the opposite end of the spectrum where I am overly self critical and at times I end up in a frustration spiral at myself. this was especially the case with me on mythic sire while playing disc priest. anyone who plays disc during spirit shell knows, that 1 gcd out of place and your ss is fucked and the raid is going to feel it. at times those fucks ups actually get me anxious leading to more fuck ups. hell I remember when I was trialing for my guild in CN at one point I like hit my desk when I fucked up and surprisingly some people actually took that well and referenced it years later because they were like " yeah one of the reasons we took you was because of that, it showed you are self critical and know when you fuck up and are disappointed in it" which is true but I don thtink they knew it kinda leans too far in that direction. a bonus of being like this though is that when you do have something to say about a situation not being on you, people actually take you seriously.

So….I believe players don’t get the chance the learn in an environment that is open like this? I created a guild with a mindset in mind, which was come with no knowledge and if you don’t know ask, or learn by pulling? It’s hard as we also have newbies who are very much more “Ahhh come on you all know this”, well, people don’t and people learn differently. And sometimes to make things easier or understandable you have to just do it, watch, repeat, suggest, learn.

It has been a while Ive wanted to hear max or scripe talk about how it is to manage who gets on the roster and who gets kicked. A while back it felt like the big echo (/method) roster almost never changed and some players would never leave but then the competition ramped and you could see the roster change and evolve, and it just seemed brutal o One day max might need to kick firedup or THD, like scripe might need to kick Gingi or meeres. It is unlikely right now but in 5-10 years ? Also maybe max or scripe will retire before that ?

The top 1% of the player base are so good they have the ability to correct themselves and at the same time correct of "fix" issues in their raid/M+. Taking constructive criticism and addressing it is tantamount. Any guild that has defeated any Mythic raid and then goes to have beers afterwards and have a great time with their members is far better than any other guild that shuts down and they each go back to their rooms, just saying.

The EU direct thing is definitley a culture thing. Iworked 3 years in the US and it was HELL to get good feedback in a short amount of time. People often thought i was rude or insensitive when i brought up matters directly and tried to find a solution fast rather than going through all the "nice communication". Even though my tone was friendly and positive - people often felt there was some hidden negative meaning behind it. BUT - EU players are more direct yes but they are also MUCH more Toxic - Especially Eastern European countrys, Finnish players, Germans and French - where i have to say French players are some of the worst tbh right next to the Eastern and German players.
