Recently here on Massively, Cameron Sorden entertained us with his opinion on raid leaders. Apparently, alot of them yell like dictators and aren't all that nice to get along with while you're raiding, evoking the spirit of Machiavelli. It is perhaps these attributes that lead many people to drop from raids and leave from the experience with a bad taste in their mouth.

However, Jaye from Journeys with Jaye recently gave us the other side of the coin with the post, "Me? A Jerk??" Jaye relates her raid experiences to us, and more specifically her experiences as raid leader, and how the position has evolved over the years. Also, going deeper into the issue, she gives us some of his tips and relates to the reader what she has learned from raiding for so long. (Raiding since the days of EverQuest, woo!)

Any up and coming raid leader would be wise to take a look at this article. Jaye relates many great ideas and concepts that are useful to any raid leader, regardless of game. Maybe, with her advice, you won't turn into the red-faced screaming jerk (NSFW).
