“You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.”
By: Sam Rayburn
Happy Mother's Day next weekend from Xiled Gaming!
RELATIONSHIPS AND LEADERSHIP IN XG
To eliminate drama and keep any kind of favoritism or feelings from influencing decisions, XG does not allow husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, or immediate family to directly report. We realize that with the amazing members we have, at some point you might find the person who completes your life. If you do, we require you to notify a leader (XD, XC, XI) so one of you can be moved. Notifying a leader of these relationships will not result in the loss of rank or removal from the community. However, any lying, deception, manipulation of stories or members, or relationships that generate issues or drama for the community may result in demotion and/or removal from the community. The rank structure is intended to be followed without personal feelings or emotional decisions affecting the directions of our clans.
Look, we get it, some of you are going to date. We don't care! Just spare us and your division the drama of going through it by being honest!
Let's discuss this with all the Leaders:
Clarify what this entails by giving some what ifs and discuss this in detail. If members want their family members in the clan, it is fine as long as those members aren’t seeking leadership in the same clan. We say “family-oriented” then say they cannot be together. Make sure everyone goes over this and if any questions anyone might have we will answer them. Xiled Gaming wants everyone happy and that is what we a striving for.
Values:
Throughout its history, the Xiled Gaming Community has successfully met all its challenges. The online XG community began in January of 2006, the Council of Leaders broke from the community known as KSI in order to run a Community free of cheating, trash talking, racism and run it the way they see fit.
From those early days of the XG community there has been, certain bedrock principles or core values that have been carried by the members in silence. They consist of three basic principles, and together create the XGC mission.
Honor: "I will bear true faith and allegiance..." Accordingly, we will: Conduct ourselves in the highest ethical manner in all relationships with peers, superiors and subordinates.
Courage: "I will support..." Accordingly, we will have: courage to meet the demands of our profession and the mission when it is, demanding, or otherwise difficult; Make decisions in the best interest of the XG community and XBOX-LIVE, without regard to personal consequences.
Commitment: "I will obey the orders..." Accordingly, we will: Demand respect up and down the chain of command; Care for the safety, professional, personal and spiritual well-being of our people; Show respect toward all people without regard to race, religion, skill or gender; Treat each individual with human dignity; Be committed to positive change and constant improvement; Exhibit the highest degree of moral character, technical excellence, quality and competence in what we have been trained to do. The day-to-day duty of every XG man and woman is to work together as a team to improve the quality of our work, our people and ourselves.
Irrational Decisions:
When members get stressed and feel like stepping down and/or leaving is the best option just to come back a day later, this is becoming a problem. When people feel like this and express this, we need to have those members take a step back and "cool off" and think about their decision before jumping the gun. If members leave, they will not be given a pass to come back because they had a change of heart. In the event a member wants to come back after leaving, GWG is the route they will need to take. Every situation will be handled on a case by case basis.
Leaders, please remember you should have a 24 to 48 hr cooling period before you jump to remove the member, unless it is a problem member. Don’t leave it to the member that is upset at that moment to try and decide if they want extra time. As a leader, listen to why they want to leave and be done at that time. Then hit them up after some cool down time has passed and emotions have calmed to discuss if they really want to leave or not. Also consider a transfer.
Working with Peers
To be successful as a group of leaders, we have to be working as a team. You have to be a strong enough leader to be able to put petty differences aside to work for the betterment of the whole team. There is no room for condescending remarks or attitudes when a peer comes to you for help. Furthermore, if you are an XS with experience, you should be sharing your experiences to help your fellow XS's. None of us have the exact same experiences, therefore you can be a valuable asset during those times. For example, say that a new XS has a clan that is having issues and is in need of rebuilding. If you know that this XS has never been through this before and you have, share your knowledge to help your peer and the community. Furthermore, if you are an XS who has produced other XS's out of your section, you should develop a mentor/protege relationship with those XS's. You should be there for them to make sure that they are successful.
Training The Future:
Leadership Training should be taking place all the time. If your clan is going good, keep training leadership. We have seen many instances where a clan is good but then something happens and the captain or Lieutenant have to go inactive and the clan falls apart. The purpose of having the next set of leaders ready is so that they can step up when their time comes. To know if this occurs be active with your clans and get to know the leaders and future leaders. Don't take someone's word about what's going on.
