Meeting Notes 12/29/19
Educate Yourself
Generals:
Communication
We all know communication is the key to success, so what we need to do as we pass information up and down the chain of command is to make sure people comprehend what we are saying, teaching, and representing. This will ensure that no miscommunication is happening, and will also save time and energy by you not having to repeat yourself and teach the same thing repeatedly. So please ask these questions when you want to verify that the members below you heard you AND also understood the message you were passing down.
1. What are the next steps you're going to take to accomplish the goal?
2. How would you say that in your own way?
3. Why do you think that is important?
These questions will clarify if the person or people were listening and if they understood your message.
If they aren't able to respond, try approaching it differently and communicating with them in a different way - if needed, utilize your peers or higher ups and they will be glad to help as well.
Recruiting:
This is the prime time for possible recruitment opportunities! People are off work, out of school ect. This obviously allows for more gaming time. Let's take advantage of this time and open up to new people and try to recruit. It's not hard to do and even easier with a group, just gotta go out and try!! Try leaving a couple open spots on your team and invite a new person in and see how they interact or game chat (depending on the game).
Holidays:
We know that Christmas was just this week and New Years is right around the corner, this in mind, understand that some may not be responsive on the box or active in meetings. Please be mindful of this when sending out messages requesting activity or communication. Things will balance out after the holidays are over. Be sure to do your best as a leader to keep an open line of communication with all your people.
Clan & Squad Lists
All clan and squad lists are due by 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, December 31st - please post them early if you know you'll be out having fun on New Year's Eve! The beginning of the year is a great time to ensure your clan list and usergroup match up, if you aren't sure how to do this, get with your XS. Usergroups can be requested from any admin on the website, don't be afraid to ask for these.
