"I'd far rather be happy than right any day." Slartibartfast from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Whose strategies you use to kill a boss isn't important. The kill is important because it's what's going to make the raid happy. My adaption of this regarding being a raid leader and a leader in general for that matter is the following.

"A true leader would rather be victorious than glorious."

It's so funny though how I find in WoW...

1 shot. A bad thing?

We'd been working on an encounter for a couple weeks and seen significant progress with a number of close kills in last night of attempts. Everyone knew that we by all rights should kill the boss tonight and turns out we did.

Unfortunately... we 1 shotted it.

Come again?

- the content you get to see

3. Loot
- how you get to develop your character

Every individual has values as to how much each of those 3 things matters...

As a raid leader, officer, GM, etc basically anyone in a position of power it's inevitable that you'll have to deliver bad news. This is something that I touched on before in one of my previous posts on the old blogging platform, but it's not the whole story and the point here.

The rule:
Speak Bad News. Type Good News.

The written word is permanent. It makes a lasting impression. It can be revisited again and again and continue to have impact weeks, months and...
