Confidence in Leadership:

Self-confidence is one of the most basic fundamentals in being a leader that enables leadership to progress. How can you expect leadership underneath your position to embody your standard if you are unsure, confused or unstable? Ultimately you can have all the ambition, passion and want for change in the world but if you are not confidant in your decision making, then you will struggle to commit to action.

User Group Add/Delete Requests:

When user group add requests are made, the members need to be added to the clan list and be at least the rank of Private before being added to the clan's user group. If an add request is submitted and they are not on the clan list, that request will be DENIED. Also spelling is important with both add requests and removals.

Forward Progress:

Moving forward with leadership requires training. Every member should be trained and aware of their responsibilities at their current rank. Positions are earned, not given out! As leaders, it is our job to teach the member(s) below us how to do our job. This will help future splits, filling positions if needed and the overall productivity of the clan/community. Identifying potential leadership early is important. Some won't want to move higher than they are but some also do, so ask your members if they are interested in leadership. The more leaders we have, the stronger the clan/community.

Leadership Classes:

Leadership classes are back up and running! If any captain or general needs a class, please sign up on the website. If certain classes are needed at "random" times, please let your leadership know so we can work out a date/time to hold said class.

Upcoming Events:

Game with Fame featuring SYN DVS456 is coming up on March 2nd! Ask Him a question and come game with a great leader in the community on BO4! To ask a question

MEETING NOTES

Fair Play:
All members that participate in any match will display a professional gaming demeanor. All members should observe the rules of Fair Play, Sportsmanship, and Respect. As a member of XG, you not only represent yourself but the community as a whole. At the end of the day this a game that we get on and have fun.

Inactives:
You should be going through your inactive members at least once a month and not wait until you have a lot of inactives to remove. This helps keep your clan list and user group stay up to date, so when it comes down to doing a squad split or clan split there should be no problems.

Training the next set of leadership:
So when looking at the next set of leaders in the community it is wise to take them under your wing and train them as we are progressing in the clan. This should be happening daily whether its pulling them in to help with issues or having them run meetings. You can't move up if they are not ready to move up and you might need to go on vacation or have other personal issues and these people should be ready to watch clans as well.

Clan list and squad list:
Clan list and squad list should be done by 1st and 15th of each month. This is improving a lot through all clans and divisions, one thing that is missing is that generals and captains are just editing old list instead of posting new list when due. This should not be happening. General and captains should post new list every time they are due and only editing in times in between each due date and old clan list and squad lists should be deleted by general or xs as they grow with amount of post in channels.

Help desk processes:
Name changes should be getting done using the name change template, not just posting name changes. There are a lot of requests coming in that we don't know what the users old name or new name is gonna be and requests are getting denied. Add and remove request should have the prefixes being added as well whether they are adds or removals so we know as well as if the people are not on clan list or registered on site we should not be posting the request. This helps so requests are not denied. Update clan requests, please use templates as well. If you can highlight what is changing in the request in a different color so we know what is changing.

Leadership Classes:
Regarding Captain and General's classes, if you require a class at specific times, please message your section leader with the times requested so we can set them up.

MEETING NOTES 03.24.19

Login Issues:
When a member has a problem with their login (IE: they can't access the website or wrong password, forgot their username was changed) do not tell the member to sign up on the website again, bring it up the chain to get it sorted out.

Transfers:
You should be aware that under no circumstances are you allowed to deny
a member a transfer out of the clan unless the member is a problem/issue and a threat to the community. You must acknowledge the members wish to go somewhere they feel they would feel more comfortable or fit in better with like minded gamers. ALL transfers should be handled within 24-72 hours!

Communication:
Communication is vital to establish relationships with your fellow peers as well as other leadership inside and outside of your section. If things are not communicated thoroughly or properly, issues can arise as a result. Essentially, it's the key to success in every aspect as we have been encouraging you as leaders to do time and time again.

Respect/Sportsmanlike Conduct:
No matter what clan, section or division you are apart of, you need to treat everyone with respect no matter the circumstances you are put under. This goes hand in hand with acting professionally as a leader. You should be holding yourself to a higher standard when it comes to how you present yourself to members and other leaders in the community.

Game Nights:
Minecraft game night on Saturday 3/30/19 at 9 EST. Please contact XGC Juic3 XS or KoG Anastasia for an invite.

Generals Notes 04.09.19

Transfers:

Reiterate the guidelines on how they are done and by whom. XS to XS, NOT XS to Gen, Gen to Gen etc. Lack of knowledge or laziness can lead to issues with the leadership both above and below us.

Teamwork and Communication:

We are all supposed to be a team, but teams can't work together if there is no communication. So, if an issue arises between peers and you choose to brush it under the rug but hold on to the resentment then it creates friction. Without communication there is no teamwork. There can't be one without the other, these two things both go hand in hand.

Modding/Manipulation of game play:

Section VIII of the Honor Code goes over manipulation of online play as in gaining an unfair advantage in online play as well as other stuff, please keep your members informed that using a special controllers or XIM adaptor to use mouse and keyboard (on a game that doesn't natively support it, which is damn near every games on Xbox) is against our honor code. They also have mod packs that attach to the back of the controller which allow for rapid fire that they sell at Walmart which isn't allowed either.

Issues:

Once again a reminder that clans need to keep there issues within there clan to themselves. DO NOT take your clans problems to someone else's clan! This only causes extra drama that is not needed.

Building your leadership pipeline

For your clan, and the community as a whole, to be able to have positive growth, we need to have a leadership development plan in place, which we do. Most people probably think that this training starts at the captain level when the first "leadership" class is offered; however, if everyone is following the rank responsibilities, promotion requirements, and clan structure guidelines, you will notice that the leadership development starts from the rank of private. Below are two of the Private's responsibilities from the rank structure:

#2. Learn, understand, and follow the Honor Code.
#3. Learn, understand, and follow the rank structure and chain of command.

Notice the words learn and understand are used and not just be able to locate and read. So it is more than just knowing where to find the Honor Code and Rank Structure and be able to read them to a new recruit, but there is a responsibility to have knowledge regarding them.

So how are they to get that knowledge? The number one priority of Generals and Captains is to get recruits and privates to the rank of sergeant. That means more than making sure they get promoted after their two weeks at private. It means that leadership development begins at this level by providing the foundation of knowledge that every member needs to understand what sets Xiled Gaming apart from every other gaming community, the Honor Code, and what their responsibilities are to be a part of this community, the Rank Structure. You can accomplish the training during your clan and/or squad meetings. It is as easy as taking one article of the Honor Code or one rank responsibility to discuss at a meeting. Also, make sure that you are going over the rank responsibilities prior to each promotion.

Establishing a system of providing this information will start to establish your leadership pipeline. Members tend to be more active and will want to move up the ranks more once they understand the foundation of our community and what is expected of them. You do not want to have a gap in your pipeline due to no one being prepared or trained, just as you do not want your leadership pipeline to be clogged because someone is promoted to a higher position without having the basic knowledge required for the rank. This is not preparing them for success and will cause harm to the clan.

Being Inspirational:

Over time in leadership, your members should feel comfortable in coming to you for guidance. Consistency and being reliable is vital to helping that guidance and growth. These are fundamentals that will ensure the trust and security of your leaders and their confidence. Inspiring confidence means honoring commitments and doing the things you say you will do. But it's easy to lose that confidence with small actions and decisions that cause people to lose that trust. There are many ways to support you members by being an inspiration to them. Increasing your Generals' morale by showing enthusiasm for success and praising accomplishments are some of the best and easiest things to do that will continue to motivate them to want to strive for success.

Leadership Definition:

The definition of a leader is to first be a follower. You cannot expect someone to follow you, if you do not know what it is to follow yourself.

A leader simply persuades others to follow them.. Having said this, in order for someone to want to follow you, they must see you have empathy for them and their peers. You do not have to buy into the whole of your surroundings, but to share empathy to those who you lead, goes a long way.

Do not lead by the saying: do as I say and not as I do. Take charge and show those who you are leading that you are willing to get your feet wet also. To many leaders/managers fail because they walk one way, yet tell there followers to walk another way. It is up to you as the leader of the team to set the goals, formulate a plan of action, and motivate the team towards that goal. In doing so, you have to be willing to work along side of the team throughout the full process.

DNR LIST

Only members that are removed for serious breaches of the Honor Code or are a threat to the community need to be put on this list. It is the general and section leader’s responsibility to make sure that names are added to the list when needed (make sure to spell the name correctly). You also need to put the reason why they are being added to the DNR List. If someone leaves for a personal reason, they are not put on this list and you should not spam out a message stating why they left. These are not threats to the community but they will still need to post an application in the Grass Wasn’t Greener forum if they wish to return. If possible, we should try to get people to step down from their leadership position if they hold one rather than leaving the community altogether. Bottom line: life happens and people need a break sometimes. No one should ever feel like they have to leave due to their position in the community being too stressful or taking up 100% of their online time. We PAY TO PLAY!

Professionalism / Attitude

When dealing with issues or just having conversations with your members, always maintain your professionalism and have a positive attitude. If you are unable to present yourself professionally, please remove yourself from the party until you are able to handle the situation calmly and in a professional manner. There is no excuse for handling issues emotionally, the only result that you can expect when you handle a situation emotionally is for the person(s) involved to respond emotionally. Ask for help if you aren't able to approach the situation logically and without emotions running rampant.

This also goes for your professionalism when dealing with your peers - you don't need to like somebody in order to act professionally and treat them with respect. Treat people the way you want to be treated and it will make for a better environment for you and everyone around you.

Team Effort

Everything we do within Xiled Gaming is a Team Effort, regardless of Rank or which squad, clan, section, or division you may be in. Our community is based on the Honor Code, Rank Structure, Rules & Guidelines and Team Work. We pull the rope together and we succeed or fail together, but we always do it as a group. No one person is bigger then the whole, no one loss is more important than all the fun we have together. Here are just a few things we have to do to be the best Community we can be:

*Recruiting: Building our community is everyone's responsibility, no one person can do this alone, make sure you are bringing in good like minded gamers to be a part of the environment you want to create within your clan, with this you will be helping us pull the rope. Just remember that we all are facilitators of fun!

*Training Recruits: It takes a whole clan to be open to new members, invite these potential members to games, welcome them, be a good example, show them the ropes, teach them about the community, and work with them so they can become a valued community member, as we grow its more important that we grow together.

*Clan & Squad Practices: Training together, learning the tactics or strategies for the clan games, getting to know each others playing styles, and learning from each other will prepare us for victory and help us learn from defeat.

*Clan Compete: As a team, everyone should put forth their own best effort in any in-game play, while maintaining the environment of good sportsmanship, regardless of if we win or lose, we always say good game!

*Meetings: Meetings are a great place to share ideas, celebrate successes, discuss any issues, offer feedback on how to improve our clan and squad environments, and vote on new recruits. Remember, we can't make things better without team work. Team Effort is what it is all about. More hands make lighter work!

*Communication: Exchanging thoughts and ideas with the intention of delivering information and goals. Communication is the key to success, not only within the community but also in both professional and personal scenarios. Successful leaders are those marked by their effective use of communication and understanding their followers.

No member gets left behind: ensue all gamers are involved with their squad and other clan members, make sure you and your leadership are reaching out to the ones who are not to find out why and if they can help get them more active and involved.

Transfer Process

Members who are wanting to transfer to a new clan must first go to their current General, not to the General or XS of the clan where they wish to transfer to. If someone comes to you for a transfer who is not currently in your clan, please direct them to their current leadership. No transfer can take place without the member reaching out to their current leadership first! If a transfer doesn't involve your clan, please do not take any steps to complete that transfer such as reaching out to the General or XS of that member, it should be the member having the conversation, not you.

Also, any transfer requests should be processed within 72 hours - if you are having any trouble getting in contact with the people you need to get ahold of, please hit up your chain of command or use the open door policy to assist with the transfer being completed in a timely manner.

Remember that we do not transfer problem children - if they are causing issues within your clan, we don't want another clan having to deal with the same issues. If someone just doesn't quite fit in with the current squad and clan, and they've found another clan where they get along with the members better, that's a perfect reason to transfer out.

Modern Warfare Regiments

Regiments for Modern Warfare are allowed - they are the same as any in-game clan within specific games. It is recommended that only leadership is in charge of the in-game regiment, if you have further questions about in-game clans please ask your chain of command or utilize the open door policy.

Holding Yourself and Leadership Accountable

As a leader in XG, you are responsible for holding yourself to the standard of your rank, as well as your Captains and LTs within your clan. When someone isn't upholding their rank responsibilities, have an honest conversation with them about what's going on and if they need more training, clarification on their responsibilities, or advice on making their squad the best it can be.

Take time to speak with everyone in your clan to learn about what their goals are within the community. That way, if someone is demoted, steps down, or leaves, you know who your next person up could be and you are prepared to move forward and keep the clan on a forward progression.

If you yourself need help understanding your responsibilities better, or just want some advice, use your peers or chain of command to ask those questions. Wanting to learn more will never be seen as a negative step to take, but rather shows that you acknowledge that you and all leaders always have room to grow and improve.

Why You Joined This Community

When you first joined the community, it was probably for many reasons - remind yourself of why you joined, and how you can continue to make other people feel that way and want to join as well. Hold your leaders to that standard so that your clans can continue to grow and be successful.

If someone is preventing that positive atmosphere from being shown to new or potential members, you need to hold them accountable and make the change(s) needed to keep people interested in joining and also to stay as members well into the future.

Usergroup Maintenance

With the release of the new site, both Section Leaders and Generals now have the ability to approve new members into the clan usergroups. Some or most of you were not around when this functionality existed on previous versions of our website. So let me cover a few expectations you may not be aware of.

1. Vetting Requests: When accepting people into your usergroup, you must first verify they are in fact members of your clan. Do not approve any requests where you do not recognize the name.
2. Usergroup Accuracy: Members can only be in one clan's usergroup (XS-XI being the only exception). Go through your usergroup and verify that it is correct by adding members that should be there, and removing those that shouldn't. This should be a regular routine. Keep in mind, your usergroup and clan list must match in order for a clan split to be approved.
3. Recruits & Usergroups: Recruits are not expected to be in the usergroup or registered. Recruits are not members of the community until promoted to the rank of private. At that point, it will become mandatory for the member to be registered as stated in the rank structure. The reason I'm mentioning this is because recruits do not always work out. If you get in the habit of accepting everyone into the usergroup it will lead to you creating more removal requests. Which is not only more work for you, but more work for the Admins as well.

DNR List

The Do Not Recruit List has been eliminated, when researching name changes please check the current members list and use the search function to make sure it isn't too close to an existing name.

Handling Issues
If an issue arises between members, they should be making an attempt to resolve it between themselves before just immediately jumping ranks or using the open door policy. If they are unable to resolve it themselves, that's when leadership needs to be involved, by following the chain of command first - if the issue is between them and another member in leadership, the next rank up would need to be contacted to help get the issue handled, but not before it is communicated properly through the chain of command first.

CDL Tournament

Thank you to all who supported last night's CDL Domination Tournament, whether you participated or watched the stream!

XG Honor Code: Three Values

All members of leadership should be working together and towards the same goals as a team - more hands make lighter work! Growth and development are the basic ingredients for success for all clans and squads within the community. Making sure that the squad and clan are playing the same game together as a team is very important, this helps in developing the environment you as a General want to create for your clan. When you think of your clan, decide what path you want your clan to take - are you casual gamers? Competitive? Establishing your identity as a clan will help to bring in like-minded people, who will gravitate to your clan and members much more than if you don't know what you want your clan to be. If potential members see how your clan is and like what it stands for, and you maintain your clan with that in mind, it will help you to succeed and grow. This will help your leaders grow and be successful in their current rank as well as prepare them for any potential promotions down the road. Remember, a fun environment is an environment that people want to be a part of. Xiled Gaming will always provide the best gaming environment for everyone if you keep this in mind. Xiled Gaming has an amazing future if we all chip in and do our parts. It's up to all of us to pull the rope together achieve greatness!!

Xiled Gaming is about 3 things:
Xiled Gaming is about 3 things:
1) Fair Play
2) Sportsmanship
3) Respect

These three values help us to hold high standards within Xiled Gaming, and are the reason why Xiled Gaming was first founded in 2006. While out in the wild searching for like-minded gamers that represent our values, we should always keep these three characteristics in mind, which is why we always stress quality over quantity. Never recruit simply for the sake of numbers, anybody who recruits should be looking for gamers who will uphold our Honor Code and treat others with respect. Instead of looking for recruits, look for new friends who you enjoy gaming with and hanging out with and you'll have greater success!

No Member Left Behind

Regardless of rank, all members within your clan should be continuously reaching out to other clan members, whether it's for gaming, just hopping in a party with them and chatting, and so on. Awareness of what games each member is playing is something you should always be aware of, with assistance from your captain(s) and lieutenant(s) as well. If a member changes games and doesn't have people within the clan to play with, ask the member if they would like a transfer to a different clan or squad that plays that game, so that they still have people to game with and aren't feeling left behind.

Communication is the key to success!!

For members who are trying new games out and don't want to go to another clan or squad, encourage them to bring in new members who also play - it's the perfect opportunity to have the clan branch out and gives members the opportunity to build a new squad and eventually even a new clan within their current clan. You and their leadership can show them the ropes and start training them as a leader through this. Sending messages to members that you haven't seen for a little while, whether it's on Xbox, Discord, or the website, to find out what's going on with them will help create a stronger community.

Professionalism:

Remember while being a member of Xiled Gaming you are expected to uphold a professional gaming demeanor at all times. There is no reason to be yelling at other members, messaging in all caps or trash talking other members in the community. We are all here for the same reason, to have a group of people that we enjoy gaming with every day. Remember the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated.


Generals and Squad meetings:

Generals, it is your responsibility to communicate to your Captains that they need to run the Clan meeting if you are unable to, and it is also your responsibility to run a Captain's squad meeting if they are unable to hold it as well. If you cannot make the weekly mandatory Generals meeting you must inform your Captains so that one of them may take your place to receive the notes for the week.

Community Wide Support

As leaders in the community, we are all responsible for getting to know all members, starting with when they are recruits and continuing on from there. Our members are looking to have fun, possibly compete in battles and to game, but as leaders we need to be there and listen to them as we might be all they have. Have patience and let ALL members know that your door is always open, whether its clan business or personal. COMMUNICATION is always the key to success and without that communication we would not be the leaders we are today.

Treat others how you would want to be treated, and remember that you never know what others might be going through in their life.

Transfers

As a reminder, transfer must be initiated by the member who is wishing to move, and they need to follow their chain of command in order to complete the transfer. Transfers go in this order: member to current General, who goes to their XS, then the XS needs to go to the XS of the incoming clan who goes to the General of the clan the member wishes to go to. From start to finish, the transfer process needs to be completed within 72 hours (3 days) of when the member requests the transfer. If a member wishes to transfer into your clan and you don't think they are a good fit, you are able to deny the incoming transfer. We do not deny outgoing transfers unless they are a problem child or we feel the transfer could harm the community.

When doing transfers, Generals still need to submit removal requests - the member should not leave the usergroup themselves as then there isn't a paper trail to look back on for research purposes.

Clash of Clans

The Xiled Gaming Clash of Clans is looking for more active members. If you're interested in joining or have any questions about the clan please feel free to hit up the leaders of the clan which are XGC Horus XS & XGC BE BAD.

Discord Usage

Remember that you as a General have the ability to assign roles to members when they join into your division Discord server - make sure you and leadership are getting the link out to new members and getting them assigned so all your members have access to the clan chat box and can communicate with their fellow clan members. Make sure you and your leadership are putting out clan news and announcements as needed, as well as using the leadership channel. Communication is the key to success!

Holding Leadership Accountable

As a General, you must hold your Captains and Lieutenants to their responsibilities as listed in the rank structure - making sure you are calling them out for what they are doing well and what they need to improve on. This includes making sure that your leaders are on top of holding squad meetings and game nights every week, and looking at their online activity - specifically on if they are playing with their squad members to ensure no member is left behind. This in turn is a part of your responsibilities as a General, to ensure your clan is developing and progressing as it should, instead of staying stagnant or declining. This means making sure that everyone is doing their jobs as detailed in the rank responsibilities and rank structure.

If someone is missing and not completing a couple of responsibilities, talk to them early - see what's causing them to complete some things and not others. If you head it off at the pass before it gets really bad, you more than often will be able to prevent your clan from going stagnant or eventually dying, but if you don't talk to them early you'll have a much bigger issue on your hands. Being proactive instead of reactive will make things easier on both you and the leadership within the clan.

That being said, when someone is having issues and not fulfilling those responsibilities, you have an obligation to talk to that leader and tell them - not just deciding after a few weeks that it isn't working, without trying to help them turn it around.

Upcoming Games and New Consoles

As a reminder, we brought this up about a month ago - the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are due to release in just over a month on November 10th.
Over the next couple of weeks, we need you to get with your clan and members to find out who is getting new consoles, new games, and making sure you and your leaders are prepared for any changes ahead of time.

As always, if your clan needs to change what your primary games are, please let your Section Leader know so they can submit an Update Clan request through the Help Desk to help keep those games up to date for potential transfers, members returning through the GWG, etc.

Name Changes

When members want to change their name to add KoG, SYN, or XGC in the front, please make sure they are aware that they need to get approval before simply changing their name. Your Section Leader needs to approve the name and then the member should be changing it on the website prior to changing it on Xbox.

Two key things are checked prior to gamertags being approved by your Section Leader.
1. Clan Names - if someone is asking for a gamertag but it is the name of a clan in any of the three divisions, it cannot be approved.
2. Current Members - if someone currently has a gamertag that is the same, or similar, to someone who has been active within the last (3) years, the name cannot be approved. This can be checked through the website under "Members" as well as the regular search function. If you need help, ask before approving something to avoid multiple members having the same gamertag.
https://www.xiledgaming.com/threads/name-change-requests.70847/

Poaching

Within Xiled Gaming, we have a specific definition when it comes to poaching.
If you feel poaching is happening or you experience it first hand, please deal with it immediately and ask for help if you need it.

1. Actively recruiting members of another community.
2. Targeting members of a specific clan to cause issues.
3. Offering promotions for recruitment into that said clan.

Decisions - Long & Short Term Effects

When you and your leaders make decisions, it's important to evaluate the short-term and long-term impact of those decisions. If you make a decision that will fix something short-term but will have a negative effect in the long-term, you need to decide if that's truly the right thing to do. Demoting someone who isn't fulfilling their responsibilities might have a short-term negative effect, but in the long-term it will be better for the clan because people won't see someone staying in a leadership rank who doesn't deserve to hold it which will have a long-term positive effect.

Effective Communication

As a General, you should be able to clearly explain and answer frequently asked questions. If you don't know the answer, let them know that you will look into it and find out instead of saying that you don't know outright. Make sure you remain calm and collected while being professional during those conversations. Make sure you know the facts before presenting the final answer, instead of answering incorrectly and having to correct it later.

Running a Successful Clan

For you as a General, there are a few key things that all successful clans need to do. If these aren't happening, it is your responsibility to get the clan back on track and doing these things. Please ask for help as needed whether it's your XS, or the open door policy to come to the XDs, XCs or XIs.

1. Holding Clan Meetings & Game Nights weekly
2. Running Squad Meetings & Game Nights weekly
3. Handling issues within 48 hours of them arising to ensure drama is not happening within clans - using peers for support to do so as needed.
4. Ask members for feedback constantly to see what they would like to be different within the clan, to try to always improve and not stay complacent.
5. Play with all members and ensure nobody is left behind.

The environment that you create within your clan is completely up to you and your leaders - create the type of clan that you want and bring in members who will add and make that environment better, and when necessary, remove or transfer people who are ruining the environment for others.

We do NOT tell people who they can play and be in parties with. All of our members pay for their own Xbox Live subscriptions, so it isn't right to tell them who they can play and talk to.

See the Honor Code Number VI:
XG does NOT have ANY alliances with other gaming communities/clans! XG members will remain friendly and professional with ALL gaming communities at all times! ZERO TOLERANCE!

"Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."

Fall clean up-
