Leveling Up Leadership: The Role of Mindfulness and Meditation in the Gaming Industry

Tell us what you thought of the episode and any topics you would
like us to cover!


Ever feel like you're battling multiple bosses at once? Welcome
to the rise of mindfulness in the gaming industry, the secret
power-up transforming today's leaders. On this week's episode of
the Press Start Leadership podcast, we illuminate the
intersection of mindfulness, meditation, and leadership in the
gaming world. We share the experiences of industry professionals
like project manager Robbie and creative director Mei who've
discovered the benefits of these ancient practices. Just as a
brief moment of inattention can cost a gamer a life, lack of
focus in the ever-evolving gaming industry can lead to missed
deadlines, overlooked details, and burnt-out teams. But, with
mindfulness in their toolkit, leaders like Robbie and Mei are
hitting pause, amplifying their focus, and rejuvenating their
creative energy.

But it's not all about the individual - mindfulness and
meditation can level up team performance as well. Hear how team
leader Miguel introduced mindfulness exercises to his team,
transforming brainstorming sessions and fostering an environment
bursting with innovative ideas. Equally important is the role of
emotional intelligence in leadership. We share the story of
studio manager Niko, who used meditation to control his
unpredictable temper and significantly improve his team's morale.
Not just relics of ancient wisdom, mindfulness and meditation are
proving to be essential tools in the modern leader's inventory.
So, ready to tackle those formidable foes and challenging levels?
Join us as we explore how these practices can truly level up
leadership skills in the gaming industry.
