Now is the time to set goals for the remainder of the year - keep them as S.M.A.R.T. goals and ensure your leaders do the same with your assistance.S - Specific = Don't create a goal that is unclear or needs detailed explanation; it should be specific enough to be easily understood when talking about it.M - Measurable = Determine how you will be able to tell if the goal is 25% complete, 50% complete, and so on. If the goal isn't met 100%, talk about why.A - Achievable = Make a goal that is not unreasonable. For example, if you set a recruiting goal for 10 recruits in a week, but typically only bring in 1-2, that goal will most likely not be met. Start with something realistic, and if that goal is met easily, then increase it for the next time.R - Relevant = Have the goal be something the squad or clan needs to work on. For example, if recruiting is slow and needs improvement, that would be a good goal. If recruiting is something that happens naturally and isn't a struggle, a goal for leadership training and development would be more effective.T - Time Bound: Set a timeframe for achieving the goal. Whether it's a short-term or long-term goal, having a "due date" helps keep people focused and working towards it.Make sure that when you set a goal, you check in on progress at least a couple of times a week to help keep everyone focused and ensure it isn't forgotten. If the goal isn't met, discuss why - it shouldn't be a negative conversation, just a discussion about why it didn't happen and how to try to achieve it using a different strategy.Showing Offline:We all appear offline from time to time. This can be when we have company, spend time with loved ones, etc., and generally, we're not available, so we don't want people to think we're when our Xbox is on for whatever reason. This should not be used to hide from our members or leadership! You should NOT be appearing offline all the time and expect people to message you if they need you.Leadership should NOT appear offline all the time, and leave it to your clans to guess if you are online or not. Even clan members should not always appear offline. Part of the reason people join the community is to socialize with members, and if everyone appears offline, socializing will not happen. If you are online, you should remain online unless there's a good reason to do otherwise. Do not abuse the appear offline function!Clan Usergroup:Do your user group and clan list match? One aspect of running a clan is ALWAYS checking our lists. It is your responsibility to ensure that all your members join the UserGroup. It is also your responsibility to remove those same members from the User Group if they leave, are removed, or transfer out. As many already know, you need to post a request in the Help Desk to get members removed. If you need assistance, please get in touch with your immediate leadership.XTEAM:The Xteam is looking for challenges, so get with your XS and coordinate what games/game modes you would like to see if you have what it takes to bring in the bragging rights to beat your Section leaders or higher. If you have any questions, please contact SYN CareBear XS.</blockquote>
