Games and Generations

I have a little story shared by my Japanese friend that I can't resist spreading it further with some real links in our life ka.

My friend was telling us she coached her son how to do his job interview in English. That was as much as she could help because it was her to be amazed learning what her son has been doing.

All the time, she thought (gen BB) her son (M) was far too addicted to playing games. She only learned during the coaching that it was his learning curve about collaboration. He said while he was playing, he learned how to manage his online playmates to win the respective games. He then wrote a blog about his learning to enable others to play the games with success. He also applied what he'd learned to his management in daily life when he was among team members who were on their own ways.

What was more was that some people read his blog and asked him to be a 'game coach'. With no experience in the real world as a coach, he accepted to do it by applying his own knowledge. That team won the prize which made him so proud.

I now realize better when people mention 'gamification for leadership' ka.

These days while having my evening walk, I listen to some book summaries. One I've heard is how we practice our 'virtual' leadership drawing from some game platforms. I thought I understood it but with this story, my understanding is much clearer.

Leadership in the new normal world should combine it as a safe platform for us to try some new things. Besides, we'll learn more about tactics, options and incentives offered to drive the players to keep going back to play. We also know that there's another new type of job needed.

To me, the most important is the principle of collaboration since many games are to play and contest between teams. We can observe how each player in our team behaves and moves to learn how to reach the goal together and at the same time, how our younger gens know much more.....our challenge to realize their potential and help maximize it to the fullest for the real world in the future.

Feel WE the BB are the gen that has to learn much more ka!

Sanuk mak ka...I now don't feel too guilty to play my games:))!
