What if one of the best leadership training tools ever created wasn't found in a boardroom, lecture theatre, or management course, but around a table rolling dice with friends?
Running a game of Dungeons & Dragons has surprising parallels with leading a team in the workplace. Dungeon Masters must communicate clearly, adapt to the unexpected, resolve conflict, inspire diverse personalities, and guide a group towards a shared goal. Sound familiar?
This book explores the leadership lessons hidden within the world's most popular roleplaying game and shows how they can be applied to real-world teams and organisations. Drawing on practical examples from both the gaming table and the workplace, it reveals how D&D can help develop your communication, teamwork, decision-making, resilience, creativity, and leadership.
More than just a leadership book, it also includes a simple roleplaying game system along with practical guidance for running experiential learning sessions at work, allowing organisations to develop their people through engaging, memorable experiences.
Designed as the ultimate D&D-inspired leadership handbook, readers can explore the chapters that matter most to them, dipping in and out as challenges arise throughout their leadership journey.
