So often, a guild's success revolves around a good guild leader. In fact, we've talked before about how a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/09/29/the-guild-counsel-a-closer-look-at-leadership-style/">guild tend to take on the personality</a> of the person who's running it and that when a great leader leaves, there's a risk that the entire guild will break up afterward.<br />
<br />
But what if a guild leader leaves and then returns to see that his guild is doing fine or that it's even better than when he left it? Apart from the obvious "awkward" moment, let's consider a few potential issues in this scenario, from the perspective of both the returning guild leader and the guild as a whole. Power struggle or cause for celebration?
