Matthew Kirdahy, reporter at Forbes, speaks with the CEOs of EVE - both in and out of game. Hilmar Veigar Petursson, CEO of CCP, discusses EVE's way of fostering the skills that Kirdahy describes as "crucial to the future of business." Darius Johnson, in-game CEO of Goonfleet, shows Kirdahy the leadership abilities he has developed in EVE.

Kirdahy writes, "The leadership experience has challenged Conover the same way the modern CEO is challenged. He worries about economics, employee morale, production, training and even a succession plan, which he's devising. (After all, the next guy has to be able to weather the storm too.)"
