Recommended Reads: How to run your office, WoW-style

 

"I started thinking about it and began to ask myself a simple question... why NOT bring up WoW? Leading a pickup group of talented players (as I’d like to think most all of them are in their own right), as I began to explain in my mind, is really not that different from managing a team of talented professionals." (Diji)

Livejournal hosts two articles on how you to superimpose traditional MMORPG-roles on small business-units as a way of managing your office-team:

“You have the following roles: Main Tank: That person on the team who’s always out front, and who’s face is synonymous with the team. Often times this is the Manager themselves, but sometimes this is a member of the group who interacts with customers/other departments. Main Healer: The motivator of the group. They’re good at keeping people’s spirits up, keeping them engaged, and keeping them coming in day in and day out. DPS: The rest of the team helps to get the projects complete and the work done.“

Sweet. The follow-up to the first article is here.
