We all are aware of the great relevance and challenge that represents to create a successful team, especially to detect the inappropriately named “soft skills”, because as Simon Sinek, the author of “Starting with Why” and “The Infinite Game”, says “there’s no such thing as soft skills, those are human skills”. These desirable skills include problem-solving, teamwork, communication, creativity, stress management, among others. And many of them are improved by different types of video games.
I’m far from an expert on research on video games, or HR, but I have extensive experience doing interviews and assembling teams, and I have a great curiosity about the topic. Should we ask our collegues and candidates what is their background on video games? And what is their level in each game? And then, we will need a PlayBook to figure out how this repertory supports the skills that we are searching for.
