As some of you know Im soon off to the US for another stint for a project. As much as Id love to be able to focus on games and other RL stuff, reality is very different. It got me thinking about what the best way to handle this when leading a guild.
For me being in the US means being on a completely different time zone to my family, friends and girl friend. This by itself is enough to make it tough, let alone trying the manage a guild from afar and logging on at 4am for raids…eeeeeeep
This could of course be relevant for many things; needing a break, having a child etc etc
So when is it best for the guild for you a step down, or hand the reigns to someone else?
I have asked myself some questions;
Do I feel you can still run things? How active and responsible is my leadership group? Can I randomly log in and manage the left overs without watching the guild crumble while I’m sleeping?
I go into this latest trip a little bit more confident knowing it had worked before.
What challengers have you experienced? Did you get over it and push through? Is is selfish to keep the GM position in such times?
What do you think?
