Last night

I played a game called Squad https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛑" title="Helm mit weißem Kreuz" aria-label="Emoji: Helm mit weißem Kreuz">

A realistic military simulator with 50 vs 50 players.

Never playing before, I was asked to be squad leaderhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">

Let& #39;s go over the biggest takeaways from

Putting myself in a leadership position

With no experience https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧠" title="Gehirn" aria-label="Emoji: Gehirn">

What is squad leader? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦸‍♂️" title="Man superhero" aria-label="Emoji: Man superhero">

- People look to me for orders
- Squad leaders can communicate with 8 other leaders
- Talk directly with a commander for orders

8 Men under my command https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👮‍♂️" title="Man police officer" aria-label="Emoji: Man police officer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👮‍♂️" title="Man police officer" aria-label="Emoji: Man police officer">

Controlling:

1. With a great leader, comes a great team around him

If it wasn& #39;t for the team around me

We would& #39;ve completely failed!

They were:

- Knowledgeable
- Great teachers
- Supportive

We took buildings whilst locking down positions

Make sure your friend circle represents thishttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Handschlag">

2. Rapid learning https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧠" title="Gehirn" aria-label="Emoji: Gehirn">

Putting myself in a position with a lot of responsibility

Brought tons of:

- Learninghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">
- Failinghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📉" title="Tabelle mit Abwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Abwärtstrend">

Just after 1 game I had learnt:

- Leadership https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦸‍♂️" title="Man superhero" aria-label="Emoji: Man superhero">
- Positioning
- Resource handling https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📊" title="Balkendiagramm" aria-label="Emoji: Balkendiagramm">
- Communication

Do the hard stuff others won& #39;t do and rise above! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

3. Leadership

Over time, I was then commanding my squad

Whilst staying in form with other commanders https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗣" title="Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes" aria-label="Emoji: Silhouette eines sprechenden Kopfes">

How was this possible?

I failed super hard.

Jeopardising the squad, getting us all killed.

I quickly learnt what not to do and how to proceed!

So fail hard.

Learn fast.

Games can get a bad rap on Money Twitter

and I agree if they& #39;re being completely binged!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😵" title="Benommenes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Benommenes Gesicht">

It& #39;s all about moderation https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📊" title="Balkendiagramm" aria-label="Emoji: Balkendiagramm">

By playing realistic games you can come

Away with some great takeaways.
