World of Warcraft. 12 years of playing and raid/guild leadership helped me learn how to play, not just play. How to:
I had learned portions of these things in other games, but my leadership role in WoW pushed me to truly understand many things that aren't a major focus in most games.
I have a bunch of friends in middle management positions. Almost all of them cite being a raid leader in WoW as being a formative experience.
I have basically the same take from my years of raiding and leading in ESO (still top Argonian DPS babyyyyyyy), and it has also given me an unparalleled intuition when it comes to game and combat design, which comes in handy since I'm a game developer.
And not just gaming, looking back on it my first people management experience was leading 40 players through Molten Core.
