Officers’ Quarters: Raid leading is stressful

Every Monday, Scott Andrews contributes [hide]Officers’ Quarters[/hide], a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. He is the author of [hide]The Guild Leader’s Handbook[/hide], available now from [hide]No Starch Press[/hide].

The title of this post goes without saying, but let’s say it anyway. It’s something that the other nine or 24 players in your raid need to be reminded of from time to time. If anyone reading this has never had the dubious honor of leading a raid before, I strongly urge you to peruse the following email. I’ll warn you, though, it’s a long one! As for you dedicated raid leaders out there, this column is for you.

Dear Scott,

This is a raid leadership question rather than a guild leadership question — I hope that’s all right! I’m not much of a leader by nature, and I could really use some advice on how to deal with the position in which I’ve gotten myself.

I’m not a guild leader (thank god), but I run a one-night-a-week raid group for friends who don’t have the opportunity to raid more often, and for alts of members of the main raid group.

Progression-wise, we’re doing fine; H 3/7, with each new fight being picked up pretty quickly. I have no complaints at all about progression, which I thought would be the main source of stress.

Instead, I’ve been stressing out over the drama between players — mostly loot drama, as three members of the raid are on the same token and use similar gear — and decision-making. I hate drama, and I hate having to make decisions that affect 9 other people and could very well be WRONG decisions (going after Beth’tilac instead of Shannox our first week in FL, for instance), and having to worry about both of these things just makes the raid a source of pressure and something I wish I could avoid.[hide]Continue reading Officers’ Quarters: Raid leading is stressful[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Officers’ Quarters (Guild Leadership)[/hide][hide]Officers’ Quarters: Raid leading is stressful[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:00:00 EST.
