Meeting Notes 12/20/2020

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.


XGC / KoG Honor Code
VIII
Honor Code violations consist of trash talking, t-bagging, discrimination, racism, sexism, harassment, illegal drugs, cheating, poaching, squad deranking, or any other aggressive behavior toward fellow online gamers. Cheating is defined as any manipulation of online play; this includes, but is not limited to modding, bridging, stand-bying, forcing host, action replay, glitching / super jumping in match making / ranked games to gain an unfair advantage, playing online custom / ranked games with Modders, and circle boosting. Every situation is different and will be handled appropriately on a case by case basis.

Stay In Your Lane

When an issue is brought to you that doesn't involve your clan or section directly, please make sure that the issue is directed to the appropriate leader. If the General or XS from that clan or section isn't currently available, send them a message to let them know about what is going on and they will reply when they can. Remember that most issues do not need to be handled right away, it is very rare that something can't wait until the appropriate person is online to take care of it.

When it is a time-sensitive or urgent matter use the open door policy to hit up an XD or higher so it can be handled appropriately. An investigation has to take place before any action is taken. This is critical! Both sides of the story need to be checked and verified as best as possible, by asking any witnesses to give their account and not just basing a decision upon what one person has said, as that can easily turn into a he-said, she-said situation which is impossible to resolve fairly.

Five Ways To Lead Your Team

1. Become Part of the Group
It is essential to be interested in the team & individuals on a human level from the the start - integration beyond the work environment creates connections between people, allowing better understanding the needs & wants of our gamers, so we can provide the best experience possible.

2. Develop Talents
Leadership should always be searching for ways to expand their capabilities and skills. Learning is an integral part of achieving results, so learning and developing such skills are important to every teams' success regardless of position.

3. Motivate Change
Resistance to change comes from fear of the unknown. Never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something different, after all being stagnant is the first step to failure. Encourage your team to be more intrepid.

4. Coordinate Activities instead of Directing People
Leadership involves inspiration as well as motivation. Leadership is about bringing out the best in a team, remember you are working with people with all different types of feelings, emotions, and ideas, not machines.

5. Provide Feedback on Performance
Talented people prefer a honest assessment on their performance and enjoy praise for a job well done. Always be able to to develop how you handle difficult situations, while being able to keep our composure as leaders. Remember that we do not have the luxury of losing our cool or acting unprofessional, be the leader all members deserve, stay cool calm and collected as professional leaders at all times.

WHAT DOES LEADERSHIP MEAN?
What does it mean to become a great team leader? Walter J. Lippman said, "The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and will to carry on." Leadership is fundamentally about influence; it is about influencing people for great purposes. It may seem more...

End of the Year

Let's finish the year out strong and get clan games updated if needed, verify that usergroups and clan lists are matching to start 2021 off on a good foot.
Remember that people might be away and not gaming as much if they are spending time with family or traveling, be courteous and give people leeway before placing them inactive or removing them from the usergroup.

Put something together with your clan or squad to celebrate the end of the year and to take advantage of not having any meetings next week! :)

Communicate any absences with your leadership and ensure members know to do the same, ensure that nobody is being left behind and that recruiting is still taking place when possible to take advantage of people getting new consoles and games this time of year!

**No Meetings Next Sunday, 12/27/2020 - enjoy your holidays!**

The Essence of Great Leadership is Influence, Not Authority

Goals for 2021

It's the beginning of the year, now is a great time to reflect back on 2020 and what you accomplished. Now is the time to set goals for this year - keep them as S.M.A.R.T. goals and make sure 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 normally and isn't a struggle, a goal for leadership training and development would be better.
T - Time Bound = Set a time-frame for the goal to be achieved. 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 are checking 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.

Why People Join XG - Your Attitude & Enthusiasm Matter!

There are two main reasons that people join Xiled Gaming.
#1: Having like-minded gamers to play with when they are online!
#2: Competition, whether within their clan or the community

Gaming is supposed to be fun - make sure your attitude when you enter parties is enthusiastic, enthusiasm is contagious! We all need to get some pep in our step and show members why we're the best gaming community out there. If you have members in leadership who have lost their drive, it trickles down to members as well, so figure out what makes XG fun for you and embrace that.

Recruiting

All members are responsible for recruiting. As leaders, it is our responsibility to teach lower ranking members how to properly recruit. We always recruit QUALITY over QUANTITY. We are looking for like minded gamers who show interest in joining the community and are a good fit within that clan and the people already part of the clan, if they aren't quite fitting in but haven't done anything wrong, try to find a clan that they will fit in better. If someone is teabagging they would be a better fit for SYN, don't set them up in a KoG or XGC clan where they will get in trouble for playing how they usually play. There are many ways to recruit, don't be afraid to try something new if what you or your members have been doing isn't working.

General Notes

Website Updates

A few updates on the website took place this last week. An important one being the User Name Change button. It is no longer located in the drop down by clicking your name in the top right hand corner of the website. You have to click on ‘Account Details’ and then click ‘Change’ next to your current user name.

You can also organize sticky threads within clan forums, for example you could make it so the Clan List thread is always at the top of the stickied threads followed by Squad Lists, or however you and your Generals want to keep it organized - for assistance hit up your chain of command.

Meeting Feedback

Please start an open conversation in all meetings about how we can make the meetings more meaningful. What does everyone find the most useful/helpful from meetings currently? Are there current ongoing issues with meetings that should be thought of changing? All XS & XD take note of this conversation because we will be asking for feedback.

Speaking of “taking notes,” someone should be taking notes or minutes at every meeting so when a member brings up an idea, suggestion, or comment regarding something they would like to see done, changed, or questioned, there is a record of the conversation. The notes should be relayed to the next level of the chain of command and posted in the same thread that the attendance is recorded.

There are instances where those items are getting mentioned but not relayed to the correct leaders that could either consider the request or provide clarity of the issue.

Individual Goals

Generals remember to work closely with your XS to ensure everyone is aware of your individual goals for your clan as well as you personally.

Communication

When someone reaches out to you, whether it's through Xbox, the website, or Discord, please make sure you are replying as soon as you are able, even if it's just to let them know you received the message and that you'll get with them when you are next available.

Xiled Gaming YouTube

Please subscribe to Xiled Gaming's new YouTube Channel. We need 100 followers for Youtube's Channel Eligibility Program. Tell your friends, family, dogs, and cats. Who is going to be number 100? More details to come as far as video submissions, etc.

Unity is strength when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved


What is Effective communication,
Effective communication is about more than exchanging information. It's about understanding the emotions and intentions behind the information. It is being able to clearly convey a message to another person, you also need to listen to the full meaning of what is being said and makes the other person heard and understood.


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. The Community is based on our 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 than the whole, no one in game 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 gamer's to be a part of the environment you want to create, with this you will be helping us pull the rope, Remember we all are facilitators of fun.

* Training Recruits to be good members, It takes a whole Clan to be open to new members, invites these potential members to games, Welcomes them, be a good example, shows them the ropes, teaches 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.

* Practices: Training together, Learning the Tactics, getting to know each other's playing styles, and learning from each other will prepare us for Victory and help us learn from defeat.

* Clan Compete / Game Battles: 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 win or lose we always say Good Game!

* Meetings, Meetings are a great place to share ideas, celebrate successes, discuss any issue, offer feedback on how to improve our environments, Remembers we cant make things better without teamwork. Team Effort is what it is all about.

* 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 of their followers.

No member gets left behind: ensue all gamer"s are being involved, reach out to the ones who are not.

Hard work and diligence are essential to success, but they require internal motivation, that internal motivation is fueled by vision.


Honor Code and Golden Rule When is racism or sexism OK? Never!! Some people think it's ok to be racist or sexist in locked parties and believe they won't be removed, thinking this is a loophole in the system. This is false information!! If someone is reported as being racist or sexist in-game chat, private party chat, discord, etc.., they will be removed.

Opportunities don't happen, You create them

Strike Pack Controller Mods- These mods are not made by Microsoft, they are made by a 3rd party manufacturer. The mod packs manipulate on-line gameplay, such as automatic rapid-fire, no-aim no scope, auto-aim, etc. The use of these types of mods is against the fair play article of the XG Honor Code. Any members caught using this device are not abiding by the Honor Code and will be dealt with accordingly, which could result in demotion or and removal from the community. This will be dealt with on a case by case basis

Honor Code violations consist of trash talking, t-bagging, discrimination, racism, sexism, harassment, illegal drugs, cheating, poaching, squad de-ranking, or any other aggressive behaviour toward fellow online gamers. Cheating is defined as any manipulation of online play; this includes, but is not limited to modding, bridging, stand-by, forcing host, action replay, glitching/super jumping in match making/ranked games to gain an unfair advantage, playing online custom / ranked games with Modders, and circle boosting. Every situation is different and will be handled appropriately on a case-by-case basis. (T-bagging and trash-talking is allowed for syndicate)

Remember that we have an upcoming Warzone tournament on April 10, 2021 @8pm est on Clan Compete. There are still plenty of open spots. Get your team together and let's meet each other on the streets of Verdansk

While streaming is a great way to get yourself out there, be mindful of your surroundings. You are not only representing yourself but also the community, Honor Code still applies during stream if you are using your profile

Also, remember April 4th We will not be having any meetings due to Easter Weekend

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!

Website App I'm proud to announce our new website app. Xenforo recently released an update that upgraded the website with the ability to support what's called a Progressive Web App, or PWA for short. Without getting too technical, a PWA is supposed to be the best of both worlds when comparing it to a Web App or Native App (The apps you get out of the Google Play or Apple Store). You install it on your device (desktop or mobile) through your browser. Several browsers are supported, however, it works best through chrome or chromium based browsers, like Firefox and the new Microsoft Edge. Apple devices are have limited features but are also capable of downloading the app.
So how do you download it?

Follow the steps below:

Android Phone
1. Open your chrome browser and log into our website.
2. Click the three parallel lines in the upper left-hand corner and scroll down.
3. At the bottom, there will be an install app option.

Desktop
1. Open your chrome browser and log into the website.
2. Look at the right-hand edge of the address bar.
3. Click on the box with a diagonal arrow pointing to the upper right-hand corner of the box. 4. Install App.

Apple Phone
1. Open safari and log into the website.
2. Swipe up
3. Scroll down until you find "Add To Home Page"
4. Add a name and install.


X Team
We are re-organizing the X-Team into an actual practicing, fully living, and breathing competitive team. If you are interested, please let SYN PMAR XS know, Regardless of response, we will be getting together with everyone who has an X in their name in the upcoming weeks,, we would love for all X's to show their support and participate when available., Let's Make The X-TEAM A unstoppable force to be reckoned with !

Discord

Discord is one of the official forms of communication of Xiled Gaming, and is a valuable tool at our disposal,. Please make sure we are using this to our full advantage. it is fully acceptable to to utilize Discord for meetings if necessary ., Ex. When someone isnt able to use the Xbox or Xbox App discord can be used for communication. Holding meetings is encouraged for this.

What you do has far greater impact than what you say.” – Stephen Covey, author and educator

There has been "Gamers" going around called TSB and XGN, Xiled Syndicate. These people have been adding higher leadership and then looking on there friends list to see who they can come after and annoy. There are trying to poach and also DDOS Xiled Gaming members offline. So if you are contacted by these gamers we highly suggest ignoring them and blocking them so that something like this doesn't happen to you.

Discord
As some of you may have seen, we have added a few new things to your Division Discords. Each Section Leader has their own section channel and chat box for their section as well as categories with voice boxes for you all to utilize for meetings.

HonorCode : Section VI
In the Honor Code of Section VI - XILED GAMING members CANNOT be apart of any other gaming communities/clans! Any and all gamer tags must be either in XILED GAMING clans or in none at all. XILED GAMING does NOT have ANY alliances with other gaming communities/clans! XILED GAMING will remain friendly and professional with ALL gaming communities at all times! ZERO TOLERANCE! If an XILED GAMING member leaves, they are NOT allowed back. In the event of a member wanting to come back, each situation will be looked at by the COUNCIL/Division Leaders on a case-by-case basis.

Why People Join XG - Your Attitude & Enthusiasm Matter!
There are two main reasons that people join Xiled Gaming.
#1: Having like-minded gamers to play with when they are online!
#2: Competition, whether within their clan or the community

Gaming is supposed to be fun - make sure your attitude when you enter parties is enthusiastic, enthusiasm is contagious! We all need to get some pep in our step and show members why we're the best gaming community out there. If you have members in leadership who have lost their drive, it trickles down to members as well, so figure out what makes XG fun for you and embrace that.

Being a Leader
Being a Leader in Xiled Gaming isn't just about holding a specific rank. It's about leading by example, acting in a professional manner and ensuring that no member is left behind. Treating every member in the community as a valued member and respect. Know that at the end of the day, it isn't about which Clan/Section/Division is better, it's about having fun and gaming with your friends.

Success is not final,failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Don't find fault, find remedys.

Faults the mind killer:
It is easy to find fault in anything, whether it be in real life or community related, , find a solution to that fault and remedy it, never believe reaching a solution is unattainable, it takes patients, & understanding, bundled with communication is key, knowing how to approach the situation with a calm cool demeanor to squash the negativity that a believed fault is producing to obtain the peace of mind needed to proceed with clarity. Never allow yourself as a leader to fall victim to believing in faults of any kind, Always seek the truth before a fault can do damage.

Leading by Example:
Every leader was chosen for their quality's in leadership, so it important to never loose focus on how to leading by example, remember a boss orders, a leader leads, one of the best examples of this is having objectives as a leader, such as to help those who is doing poorly to do well, and help those who are doing well to do even better. Setting personal objective for ourselves as leaders in the community is very beneficial not only for us as leaders but for our leadership pipelines.
We should always be holding ourselves accountable as leaders striving to improve our own skills to better serve our members.
AS leaders we know there is two different types of Banter, friendly, and unwanted, knowing how to differentiate the two and have professional discussions to deescalate any unneeded problem is key., if this problem arises contact your leadership for advise.

Adapting to change:
Every leader has there own since of leading. We have our own styles in which makes us unique leaders. We all need to be aware of our members so we can better serve our members. Knowing our members will help each one of us the ability to tweak our leadership abilities to fit there needs. BE aware of your surroundings, always ready for the unexpected to take place., Stay three steps ahead, Have a plan for a plan for a plan.

Being a Team Leader
A Leader helps to guide a team towards achieving a certain goal while managing and resolving technical and interpersonal roadblocks along the way. As a result, the role of a team leader often requires people to exercise organizational and people skills.

UNITING THEIR TEAM - The team leader should ensure that all clan members clearly understand their roles as it relates to others on the team. Everyone should know how they are expected to work together to achieve success.

PLANTING GOALS AND MILESTONES -
As a leader you should establish a plan for your Clan to reach their goals by identifying and communicating responsibilities to the clan members. MOTIVATE, INSPIRE, and EDUCATE!

How can a Leader motivate their team?
An effective leader should motivate and empower others to be their best. Every clan will face setbacks or unexpected problems. A leader’s ability to encourage others during challenging times creates a successful team. ALWAYS LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Acting as a member of the clan and show your commitment and inspire others by doing the right thing. Adhering to the rules and Showing appreciation to each and every individual member in your clan as well as Identifying, communicating and upholding the core values in line with those that can help people feel more inspired and motivated toward achieving certain goals.

Knowing the Characteristics of a Team Leader
A team leader should strive to be effective, accountable, empathetic and courageous. Acting as a team leader is a great opportunity to develop your character. Team leaders should communicate information consistently and clearly to their team. A good team leader is also a skilled learner who can accept and act on feedback, suggestions and concerns from team members. A good leader believes in the ability of their team to accomplish goals. This often improves the confidence, dedication and motivation of team members. Rules and guidelines must be communicated clearly and applied consistently by creating tasks and working to create a positive environment that is equal and without favoritism. A good team leader motivates individuals to do their best work to contribute to the goal, especially in times of stress or difficulty.

As a reminder please make sure if you're going on vacation or going to be away from the xbox for a long period of time. Please make sure you communicate with your chain of command. Let higher and lower leadership know so there isnt no miss communication on what your were abouts are.

Also next Community Meeting with be July 18th,2021

SUCCESS doesn't come from what you do occasionally,
it comes from what you do consistently.


Name Changes
Name change request and proper way to put them in on the website is very important
, Section Leaders must be training our their leadership pipelines on Name Change Requests before being submitted on the website. you need to follow up with each General and make sure they know the proper way of requesting a name change rather than making a ticket and submitting it in the help desk. if you are confused on this process please get with your division leader for assistance. always remember when names are submitted no copy cat names,

Discord
Ensuring Roles are added and removed accordingly, rank, clan must be up to date, please double check your discords to ensure we have them correct, always encourage our valuable member to utilize this valuable resource.

Website and Forum:
We all know that the website is our primary form of communication, it is also our most valuable source of information to help leaders in the community. Make sure that you are utilizing the abundance of information that is available in the Leadership tools on the website. Also, you should be frequently looking at and relooking at the XG Bible posts to see if there are any new posts or directives. The more active that you are on the website, the better of a leader that you will become.

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. Further more if you are an XS with experience, you should be sharing your experiences to help your fellow XSs. 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, why wouldn't you want to share your knowledge to help your peer and the community.

Supporting and Guiding our Generals:
As Section Leaders, it is your responsibility to guide your Generals to success. First, you must make sure that they understand the requirements of the positions and what is expected of them to meet those requirements. Then holding your Generals responsible to take their classes, upstanding to their responsibilities, and guiding their members is essential to your job.

Complacency & Time:
Remember we should always be striving to better ourselves. The day we grow complacent, is the day we start to move backwards. Keep going forwards! Time is limited, so choose what you want to do with it. Do you want to sit around and do nothing? Or make the decisions that will make you happy and ensure your destiny? It's ultimately up to you.

Establishing Priorities
It is important that you prioritize your limited amount of time that you have on the box. We do not expect you to have to deal with XG business the whole time while you are on the box. However, we do expect that you are taking care of business or issues in a timely manner. That means getting what needs to be done, done. If you know you need to speak to a general(s) for your weekly meeting, knock that out when you first get on, then enjoy your evening. If you become better at managing your time, your duties will not build up until you feel overwhelmed.

Another point regarding setting priorities, if you have a clan that is having issues or is not doing so well, you need to spend more time helping out in this clan than you need to with a clan that is doing well. It is your job to ensure the success of the clans in your section, so you need to be helping find solutions or providing input, or setting goals for clans that are in need.

Section Updates
In addition to the information about the clan status and goals that you are putting in your Section Updates, you should also being using these forums to document any discussions, corrections, or potential issues that you are having with any leaders in your section. So if you have a general whose clan is not growing and you have a conversation with that general about the importance of recruiting and give some advice on how the clan can get better results; document that in your Section Update. This will provide a record of your interactions with the general. Then if the situation does not improve and you are going to have to make a change in leadership, this record details the actions that were taken, what those results are for the situation, and provides support for the demotion. Also, use the Section Updates for positive results. So if that same general winds up following your advice and the clan starts doing great, that information is there as well.

Important Note: The information that you post, as mentioned above, does not take the place of doing a Leader Log, when the situation dictates one is needed. The information in your Section Update may wind up in a Leader Log, but it is not a replacement.

Up coming new games
With up coming release of the new games in the next couple of months, there will be opportunities for clan growth. However to be ready to seize those opportunities, you must be preparing now and over the next six weeks.

First of all you should be finding out what games your clan members are looking to purchase. Once you determine what most of the clan will be playing, there be members that may want to grow different game or transfer to another clan that is playing that game. Make sure no member is left behind.

You should be making sure that you have leadership in place that are prepared to grown the clan by helping welcome and train the new members. They should know the importance of holding game nights and meetings.

Also, as new members are concerned, you should make sure that your members know how to recruit, who to recruit, and what to do with them once they are recruited. It is hard to recruit if you are gaming with the same 5-6 members in a private party. Utilize the game chats to meet potential members. Everyone should be recruiting now and pick up the pace when the new games drop.

There will be an abundance of opportunities for clan growth and new members, will you take the time now to prepare to take advantage of those opportunities; if not, be assured that someone else will.

FOR EVERY POSITIVE CHANGE YOU MAKE IN YOUR LIFE,
SOMETHING ELSE CHANGES FOR THE BETTER.
IT CREATES A CHAIN REACTION.


Name Changes
As Leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure that those below us know the proper route to take when doing name changes on the website. Generals, when members are requesting a name change, you should be researching these names on the website as well as on gaming platforms to ensure that the name isn't already taken. Names including XGC, KoG, SYN in front of it should be thoroughly researched before it is posted in your Section Leader's forums. If the name already exists on the website and has been active for less than 3yrs on both the gaming platform and/or the website, it will be denied. Names that are deemed inappropriate or offensive will be denied as well. Names that duplicate another member's name, a clan name or a fellow Leader's name will also be denied. Remember, having these 3 letters in front of your name, you not only represent yourself but your division and your community as a whole. Once the names have been researched and submitted to the Section Leader, it is their responsibility to do follow-up research and double-check to ensure that the names are good. Members should wait until the name is changed on the website before changing it on your specific console.

Community Teams
As you all know, Xiled Gaming also has 4 teams. They are the Events Team, News Team, Design Team and the Stream Team. Each team has a specific Team Leader assigned to oversee and make sure that they are being run smoothly. As members of these teams, we are always looking for people to join us in helping to make Xiled Gaming fun and more enjoyable on a day-to-day basis. Whether it be hosting Game nights on certain games to writing about new and upcoming games or interviewing Leaders, Designing new banners/signatures and avatars and streaming your games for fellow gamers to view. We all have a goal to reach in this community. Our goal as leaders of these teams is to ensure that members are having fun and networking with others that share the same idea. If anyone is interested in being a part of these Teams, feel free to hit up your Leaders at any time with any questions.

Working Together as a Team
As a member and a Leader in this community, we should be working together as a team. With that being said, ALL LEADERS in all three Divisions should be working together in handling these issues and not against each other. If an issue should arise in your Division and your fellow peer isn't available, you can reach out to other Divisions for assistance in resolving these issues. Remember, not all issues need to be handled instantly the moment has occurred. We are all Leaders for the same reasons and the same goal, there is no excuse as to why we are working against each other.

FOR EXAMPLE:
If a general has issues in their clan and their XS is not available, they can ask any other XS in the division or COMMUNITY on basic issues until the XS of the general is able to get with the general and close the issue.

Working together is a big part of the XG Community and making sure if we have issues with people we address them with the person, this will help solve the issues before they get out of hand. We don't ever talk through people. it is the quickest way to misunderstandings and drama.

GREAT LEADERS DON'T SET OUT TO BE A LEADER...THEY SET OUT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
IT'S NEVER ABOUT THE ROLE-ALWAYS ABOUT THE GOAL


Generals Notes

Stream Team

There will be a meeting for the Stream Team 8/20/2021 at 9pm est. if you have any questions please contact XGC CAGE.

Upcoming Meetings
With the upcoming holidays, the next meeting will be in 2 weeks August 29th. There is no meeting the first Sunday in September due to Labor Day.

Recruiting:
When recruiting members, remember quality over quantity. We want ideal members, not just numbers. Being selective on who's brought into the clan/community will undoubtedly benefit both. Make sure you're recruiting like minded individuals and gamers that share the same idea and goals as you do.
Remember when recruiting, keep in mind that some of these people you recruit could be returning members as well. It is your responsibility to research any gamertags that they have had. If members were removed for inactivity a GwG is not needed. For those that were removed for Honor Code Violations etc or if you cannot find a removal request for said member because of them being gone for so long or if it was lost somewhere, Send them through the Grass Wasn't Greener process. Never assume someone was removed due to Inactivity just because they said that they were.

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.

Training Tools
When training members at any rank, remember to teach them the proper way. Explain things in detail and always try to set them up for success! Teach them the tools they'll need to be better leaders and support them. Communication is key! Having an open line of communication will and does increase the success of the clan.

LEADERSHIP TOOLS


www.xiledgaming.com
www.xiledgaming.com

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.

Generals Notes

INTEGRITY, INSIGHT, AND INCLUSIVENESS are the three essential qualities of Leadership
Communication
Generals, when and if you are not available for meetings, it is your responsibility to inform the leadership above and below you of your unavailability. Communication is the key to Success. Let the leadership below you know that they can reach out to other General in regards to Sunday meetings so that they are not being left out. Also, remember to communicate to your fellow peers as well as your section Leader to ensure that your section is covered during meetings so that someone can pick them up for meetings.



Respecting one another
Respecting one another No matter what clan, section or division you are a part 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.


Working with Peers
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 a General with experience, you should be sharing your experiences to help your fellow Generals. None of us have the exact same experiences, therefore you can be a valuable asset during those times. For example, say that a new General has a clan that is having issues and is in need of rebuilding. If you know that this General has never been through this before and you have, why wouldn't you want to share your knowledge to help your peer and the community?


Supporting and Guiding our Captains
Supporting and Guiding our Captains As Generals, it is your responsibility to guide your Captains to success. First, you must make sure that they understand the requirements of the positions and what is expected of them to meet those requirements. Then holding your Captains responsible to take their classes, upstanding their responsibilities, and guiding their members is essential to your job.


Establishing Priorities
Establishing Priorities It is important that you prioritize the limited amount of time that you have on the box. We do not expect you to have to deal with XG business the whole time while you are on the box. However, we do expect that you are taking care of business or issues in a timely manner. That means getting what needs to be done, done. If you know you need to speak to a Captain for your weekly meeting, knock that out when you first get on, then enjoy your evening. If you become better at managing your time, your duties will not build up until you feel overwhelmed. Another point regarding setting priorities, if you have a Squad that is having issues or is not doing so well, you need to spend more time helping out in this squad than you need to with a clan that is doing well. It is your job to ensure the success of the clans in your section, so you need to be helping find solutions or providing input, or setting goals for clans that are in need.

Grass Wasn't Greener
As a reminder, when it comes to the Grass Wasn't Greener Applications, if there is any information regarding the returning member-only Section Leaders and higher are able to reply to the application to hit them up. If a General has any information regarding the person, they are to report to their Section Leader and the Section Leader will then reply to the application so that a GwG Researcher will know to reach out to them. We do not continuously hit up the researchers and ask why this person's application has not been picked up yet. GwG applications can sit there for up to 90 days before being picked up by a researcher. If a member was recently removed and in less than 24hrs after their removal and decided they want to put in an application to return or were removed due to certain events, their application will not be touched for 2 weeks.


No meeting next weekend are next meeting will be held on 9-18-21

The reality is that the only change comes is when you Lead by Example"
UPCOMING NEW GAMES
As many of you may know, there will be new games dropping within the upcoming year. Please make sure you as leaders are talking to your members to ensure that they are not going to be left behind. If you feel that your members would fit better in another clan that plays the same game as they do, please find them a clan that they would be best suited in. If the member is wishing to remain in the clan, come to a reasonable solution and adapt. We don't want to push our members out because new games are dropping and some can't purchase the game instantly or some refusing to get the new games.

REMOVAL REQUESTS
When doing removal requests, please make sure that removal request reasons should be a brief message stating why they are being removed. If the member is to return and puts in a GWG, it'll help the researchers expedite the process more clearly. Putting down that the member LEFT is impeding the process of the GWG
Also, if you are putting in a mass removal request where the reason for removal is the same, please....please put them on one ticket. It isn't necessary to have multiple removal requests from one clan with all members listed as inactive. If you see that the removal request you put in earlier in the day has not been processed yet, go and edit the request then go from there.

LEADERSHIP PROMOTION

As a reminder recycle leadership is frowned upon, we should be making sure we are training and having proper leadership ready. When looking to promote keep in mind you are looking for your replacement and your potential growth in the community. With that being said no position needs to be filled right away, take the time to ensure they are the right fit.

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-

As we are heading into the fall season it's that time of year where new games are coming out and alot of transfers happen due to clans changing games. Xs should be working with there Generals to clean up usergroups as well as putting in update clan request to change clans primary games.
