## * [bcbc](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/13604/bcbc) [asked](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105782#8105782):* **What previous leadership experience do you have?** ---- ** [ObsessiveSSOℲ](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/36486/obsessivessof) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105814#8105814):** I've been captain of a robotics team, and I've also been a rowing coxswain. The former position requires managing a team, resources, and funding, and the latter requires precision, and a quick and decisive(but also right on the first decision) mind. ** [Amith KK](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/16377/amith-kk) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105836#8105836):** Well. I was the IT president at school a year or two back. :D ** [FEichinger](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/54152/feichinger) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105883#8105883):** Well, as I've detailed on my [pretty-much-biography-thingy-story](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/7371/conversation/feichingers-story), I have been a forums moderator, Quality Assurance, "leading" community member - pretty much everything that gets combined in a StackExchange moderator. ** [RolandiXor](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/4769/rolandixor) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105936#8105936):** Without going into too much detail about my offline life, I've been in a leadership position several times in very real and important areas and ways in my life so far, and in the online world I've been the leader of a rather extensive (but disciplined) gaming guild (at one time having 100 members) - which believe it or not - was a good place to learn what it means to truly be a leader, and I've been a GM (game moderator) as well. ** [RolandiXor](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/4769/rolandixor) [continued](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105953#8105953):** I've also run a number of social networks at times (when Ning was free), and I founded and still manage a group blog (2buntu.com). Outside of that I think my leadership experience is quite extensive. Just to be sure - I'll list a few - prefect - twice in my life, manager of a group of other workers at one time, prominent figure in my community (churchwise) - etc. ** [Luis Alvarado](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/12093/luis-alvarado) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8105966#8105966):** Well I could mention I was one of the programmers in a WoW emulator, was the leader of a very old database for the same game and other very geeky stuff. But seriously, I have tough a little over 500 kids and adults and that has brought a different way of thinking. You end up learning how people think and how people try to learn new things. You also learn new points of view that even contradict your own (Which is awesome actually). So I can say i have had several years of leadership. ** [jokerdino](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/24463/jokerdino) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8106426#8106426):** I am currently a leader of a development team focused on making apps for Ubuntu environment. I also have held leadership positions in my school / junior college level. ** [Journeyman Geek](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/10208/journeyman-geek) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8108593#8108593):** As far what I can talk about, Moderator on Lords of the Battlefield.com for long enough that I don't remember. I've also been a moderator on the battlechat irc channel on slashnet. I'm a fairly well respected user on SU. I've also had a few periods I've helped out small, very private forums get things up, but in most cases, they prefer not to be publically mentioned.
