The phenomenon of enhancing leadership skills is a real one. Beck and Wade's book The Kids are Alright does a great job of talking about this very issue.

Games are a great playground in which people are learning to interact with others who are very different from them. Nowhere else are you going to get someone in their teens, for example, organizing a diverse group of people of different ages and lifestyles of their own.

Whether or not a person has the name "leader" in their title as part of the guild or otherwise, simply being a part of a real group with a common goal teaches many of the important aspects of functioning in a business environment.
