Training Your Replacement
All leadership ranks are responsible for making sure that they train their own replacement. This is also known as building your leadership pipeline. If a Captain has to step down for personal reasons, their LT should be ready to take their place without waiting several weeks for training to take place. If you aren't preparing for these situations proactively and holding your leadership accountable for their rank responsibilities, your clan will not be able to move forward and be successful. If you don't know what to do in order to overcome an issue in your clan, ask your XS or use the open door policy to find out, don't just wait until the issue happens, focus on preventing the issue from ever occurring.
Setting Goals
You should be working with your clans and leaders to ensure they are setting goals for themselves on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. What do you do on a daily basis to move your clans and leaders forward? How are they moving forward in their progression as leaders and helping those below them succeed and get to their next step? If they aren't moving forward and pushing themselves and others forward, they are stagnant. Make sure this isn't happening with any of your clans, and if it is, figure out how to get them out of their rut. If they aren't upholding their responsibilities, you need to train them or find a new leader.
Leadership Classes
These classes are designed to help your leadership obtain the knowledge to move forward as a successful leader. The only classes that are MANDATORY are the General's Classes and Section Leader's class. The Captain class is not mandatory but highly recommended. In the event a captain hasn't taken the class, work with him/her and try to get them in one as it will help when they move up in leadership. There is NO penalty for a captain not taking the class so we do not demote Captains just because they haven’t taken the Captain class.
Clan Sizes
Generals, when your clan is moving towards 25-30 members, your XS and yourself should be developing a plan for a clan split and getting your leadership ready. The optimized clan should have 20-30 members with full leadership and replacements ready to go. When looking at number of squads in your clan, you do not need to have a specific number of squads in order to do a clan split - clan splits are done when leadership is ready. We have the Clan Structure in place for a reason. Squad splits should be taking place when members have earned that promotion and shown that they will be able to run a successful squad.
Know The Basics
Make sure you and your leaders know where to find all of the basic leadership tools on the website, such as the clan structure, rank structure, and promotion requirements. You should be able to help all members on where to find these as well. If you haven't looked through the XG Bible, that is also a great resource for both you and your Generals to be able to view answers from XC/XI on questions that have been posted over the years on a wide variety of topics. If you aren't sure on an answer, that is a great place to look if nobody is available to pull into a party at that time, if you can't find an answer anywhere you can start a thread yourself to get a response.
Clan/Squad Lists
Remember, these are mandatory and are due BY the 1st and 15th of each month. They may be posted up to 3 days in advance, so if you or your Captain needs to post early, make sure you do so, rather than posting late.
Stay In Your Lane
As a General, it is your responsibility to run a successful clan. In order to do so, you must focus on you and your clan first, not what is going on in other clans. If an issue arises between one of your members and a member in another clan, bring it to your Section Leaders' attention immediately so it can be handled. If a member from another clan comes to you with an issue, direct them to their leadership first, or tell them to utilize the open door policy and hit up an XD/XC/XI if it isn't being handled.
Promotion Requirements
These will be getting updated later this week, keep your eyes open for when they are posted!
