I have to agree with having the leadership abilities from before the game. Sometimes you get the position handed to you, and you have to step up. Its a lot more common for people having to fill in, and step up to guild master situations in Wow, than it is to have to step up and handle things for the president of a company. Its good life experience to have to step up to take over something, and well it might make you more comfortable in real life if the opportunity arose.
Thanks for letting me know about the trilogy for the Wizards First Rule storyline. I have Chainfire and Phantom sitting at my house for the last week or two. I'll just wait for the 3rd one too so I can read it all at once. The series did seem to slow down a bit so I've been putting off reading the last few.
The problem with many novel series is that if it gets too long there is just too much to keep track of. You end up having a full size book with only some of the characters (like George R Martin's last book imo).
I just hope that whoever decides to pick up the torch after Robert Jordan is able to finish up. I think even a somewhat disappointing ending to a storyline might be better than no ending whatsoever. I hate unfinished endin

If in doubt you can always use WoW as a job reference too like the guy who got hired for Yahoo's Senior Management in engineering. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.04/learn.html/

The video Slaughter your World is pretty funny as well, and made by the same person. My favorite quote is from Richard, "For Pony!"
