For those of you who manage a group of people and are trying to get your people to collaborate and work as a team, there's now ink on exactly how World of Warcraft can make you a better team.

"Few executives have heard of this game, much less participated in it, despite the fact that over 10 million players are active in it around the world. Upon hearing this, most executives are likely to respond that "That's an awful lot of pimply teenagers," falling back on a conventional stereotype about video game players. In fact, the majority of the players is in the 23-39-year-old bracket and deeply engaged. The average player invests about 23 hours per week playing the game."

Honestly, this is really true. Blizzard rewards us by giving us an awesome J-Curve to learn, and makes us feel as if we have accomplished something. Thank you for pointing out such positive attributes to our favorite game, BusinessWeek!
