“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.

IF EVERYONE IS MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER, THEN SUCCESS TAKES CARE OF ITSELF

LEADING BY EXAMPLE

Leading by example means you're guiding others through your behaviors and inspiring them to do the same as you. When you lead by example, you provide a path to direct others down so that everyone is working towards a common goal with the same purpose, all the while creating a picture of what's possible. People can look at you and say, "Well, if he can do it, I can do it." Build that relationship with your members and learn one another.

TRANSFERS
Members requesting to transfer have the right to transfer to a clan that they feel best suits them. Most transfers are unjustly denied due to personal reasons or emotions. This being said, transfers are never denied unless that transfer will without a doubt cause the community harm. An unhappy member will not only not benefit you, they will also resent you for denying their transfer. This will eventually develop into problems.

CLUTCH FOR COBRA
Saturday, 05/22/2021 starting @5pm Eastern Time, Xiled Gaming will be hosting a Charity Stream in Honor of KoG Cobra XD. All donations will go to the family. A Variety of games will be played and members will receive prizes for participations so don't forget to check out the Twitch Stream @XiledGamingTV.

RESEARCHING
When bringing new members into your clans, you always have to ask yourself these questions. Have they ever been in Xiled Gaming? Do they meet the age requirements to your specific division and do you feel that they are a good fit for the community as a whole? Whether they are former members or new members, you as leaders should be researching on the website to ensure that theses members are not trying to sneak back into the community in an attempt to avoid the Grass Wasn't Greener process. If a returning member approaches you about being removed for inactivity, Generals you would still have to find that removal request to verify that the said member was indeed removed for inactivity. If you are unable to find a removal request, please reach out to your leadership for further research.

SERGEANT
Sergeants must meet all their responsibilities as outlined in the XG Rank Structure as well as hold their rank for a minimum of 2 weeks. They must also show they want to be part of the XG leadership. They must play with recruits and privates and be an example to them on how to play. Sergeants should work closely with their Lieutenant to learn how the responsibilities of leadership work. Sergeants should encourage all members of the squad/clan to add every member in order to assist in building good gaming relationships between members. Never let time requirements dictate a promotion. Ensuring that the individual is a good fit for the position is key. utilize them to recruit as a requirement to teach them about their future rank responsibilities.

NAME CHANGES
If you have new members joining the community, remind them that they cannot change their name on Xbox and have XGC, KoG, SYN in front of it. Once they have reached the rank of a Sergeant, they are eligible to put in a name change to the General. The General will then research the name on the website as well as on Xbox to ensure that the name isn't already taken by someone else before submitting it into their Section Leaders Forums. The Section Leader will then do a second search to verify that there are no other duplicate names. Once the Section Leader approves the name change in their forums, the member can then proceed to request for a name change through the website. Gamertags cannot be changed until a Division Leader or higher approves it on the website. If you are requesting a name with either XGC, KoG, SYN in front of it, the name cannot duplicate another members name or a Clan Name. If it is spelled differently but sounds the same, it will be Denied.

PROFESSIONALISM AND FAIR PLAY
XILED GAMING members will display a professional gaming demeanor at all times. Any match an XG member participates in should observe the rules of Fair Play, Sportsmanship and Respect. As an XG member, you not only represent yourself but XILED GAMING as a whole.

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.

"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-

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.


Preparing your Clan for the Future

As a reminder Section leaders, it is your responsibility to ensure that every clan under you is running successfully by working closely with your generals in setting short-term and long-term goals. Encouraging them and ensuring that these goals are being achieved in a timely manner. If there are bumps in the road along the way, please make sure you are providing the assistance that they need to be successful. The things that you are teaching your generals, they too should be teaching the leadership under them as well.

Establishing Priorities

When you speak to your generals, and your generals speak to their captains, 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.

Planning Ahead

There are new games on the horizon and members will be buying new games that suit their interests. We need to make sure that we are noticing which games members are buying so clans can keep organized. If a primary game needs to be changed, be sure there is an update clan posted in the help desk to reflect this. Remember, "No Member Left Behind" also means that if a member(s) is playing different games than the rest of the clan, then they might need to go to a different clan that is on the same game(s) that reflect their interests.

Handling Issues:

When dealing with issues that arise within your clan(s), please remember to not listen to one side and take action. You need to find out ALL sides of the story before you take any action. This should include any and all evidence of what was said or done, and asking all other members involved with the situation to get their story prior to taking action.

Also please do not forget to talk with your peers if you want to get some advice (this isn't to say that you should do what they say or tell you, but it's to help catch another perspective).

Discord Team

Discord Team is looking for members interested in being a part of the team. If you are interested, please hit up your Division Leaders.

"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant."


Generals-

Let's grow the community together-

On the subject of new games, it is the perfect time to recruit new members and bring new life into your divisions and clans. New games will have multiple new players that don't know what a gaming community brings or can do for them. You should be taking this time to leave open spots in squads or being in-game chat instead of party chat to pick people up and see if they are perfect for your clan or community as a whole. If you think they are good for the community and not your clan you should use your peers to get them in another clan somewhere else in the community.

No Man Left Behind

Generals need to make sure that not only themselves but captains are gaming with all members and meeting with members weekly to make sure all members are up to date with news and don't feel left out. If a member can't make meetings or games with other members due to the times they play then you should see if there is another clan they could transfer to that plays the same time they are on.

Fall Clean-Up-

As the year is coming to an end we would like to end and begin on a positive note by ensuring that our forums are cleaned up. Now is the time to get started on insuring your list, as well as captains, match the user group and all removals are done.

New games bring change

Generals with new games coming out change will follow. If you are changing to any of these games or adding a new game to your clan Please let your XS know to ensure your clan is up to date.

The Holidays

Xiled Gaming would like to take a moment and wish everybody a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year,!! The Holiday season comes with the friendly reminder to be lenient, tolerant, & understanding, life comes first, But do not become complacent.

We know during the holidays our members will be spending time with family and travelling, we should be mindful of this when we are evaluating our inactive members.
The New Year brings Opportunities, New games under the tree, which mean more unity of games played within your Section, clans, squads, leaving no member behind, also the potential for recruits to join our Awesome Community is always a plus.

With the New Year, we as leaders of this community Need to start to think ahead & work with our generals to ensure the clan list reflects User groups, Discord reflects proper roles, actual members, removing those who don't need to be there. Be thinking of the Environments we create, and how we can make them better for our members, ask them, get feedback.

The next meetings will be held on January 16th


Whoot Whoot !!
Big shout out to Xiled Gaming as we celebrate Our community's 16th Birthday on January 6th !!! be on the lookout for new exciting Events from the Events Team on the calendar !!!

Mindset Is Everything!!!!!!

The Events Team would like to thank the Community as a whole for a Great Birthday Bash we hosted on 01/08/22! Great way to start off the New Year and a wonderful 16th Birthday as well as the wonderful Trivia Night hosted by XGC COOP XC, XGC MiniMe XD and SYN DESI XD!

To start off the New Year, all Section Leaders should be getting their Section Updates in. The section update is where you put how your clans are doing, what they are working towards, if there are any issues or if there are future leaders that are standing out. If a new XS is not sure where to go you can hit up your peers or your XD.

Name changes

Xiled Gaming has had clan members from PC and PlayStation for quite awhile now. Xbox allows 12 characters in names, PlayStation allows 15 characters per name, but no open spaces. When creating a gamertag, if your not able to use spaces, use underscore to seperate your division tag from your gamertag.
Ex. KoG_Lotus_XD
To my knowledge PC gamers limited to 20 characters. This goes for Playstation and PC if needed.

Transfers

Transfers should never be denied, nor should they be held up for any reason. Once a clan member requests a transfer, it should take no more than 72 hours to complete the entire process. The key to getting transfers done is communication. Communicating with the leaders of where the clan member wants to go is as easy as a sending an Xbox message, or a discord message. Not working hard to complete a transfer can cause the clan member to become disgruntled, which could lead to unnecessary drama.

Captains Classes:
Note: Captains Classes are now a requirement for promotion to General. You must sign up and take a Captains class if you are interested in being promoted to General.

Leadership 101

Lead:

Be the Leader your members deserve.
Pave the way to success
Empower your leaders to be free thinkers, and not merely a yes man
Guide:

DRAMA:
Unfortunately, drama can rear it's ugly head at any given time crossing many forms of communication, it's up to us as leaders to know how to deal with it.
Drama is a tumour that needs to first be isolated, then cut out before it becomes destructive, we as leaders need to be vigilantly on guard for the dumb shit. then squash it quickly and accordingly. if you need assistance in formulating a plan to combat a situation you can rely on your leadership for advice.

Here are a few tips for shutting down the drama

Try to determine what's behind the drama.
Get the facts.
Ask them to find a solution.
Set boundaries. ...
Walk away. if needed
Seek out peers for advice
Don't become a drama seeker yourself
Stay neutral, logical, and unemotional. In other words, don’t react.

Here are a few tips on how to maintain a Drama free environment.

Model the behaviour you want to see.
Have a system for managing conflict.
Be as transparent as possible.
Stop repeating the story.
Hold open conversations about real issues.
Encourage people to carry their own messages.
Try to understand people's motivations.

Getting people involved, emotional, and excited is the goal of drama-seekers. And the more, the merrier.
Remember NEVER feed into the drama.

What is conflict resolution?

Conflict resolution is a way for opposing parties to find a peaceful solution to their disagreement that leaves all parties reasonably satisfied.​

conflict resolution can be done formally or informally., effective conflict resolution skills can serve to reduce any discontent that could damage working relationships, facilitate better collaboration, and, as a result, construct strong working relationships.
Resolving conflicts effectively can prevent tension between disagreeing parties from spreading to other members not involved in the original conflict. A quick, amicable resolution can help maintain peace and morale. Knowing your audience will play a key role in solving conflict.

4 steps To resolve Conflict: CARE
  • Communicate. Open communication is key in a dispute.
  • Actively Listen. Listen to what the other person has to say, without interrupting.
  • Review Options. Talk over the options, looking for solutions that benefit everyone.
  • End with a Win-Win Solution
Here are seven-steps for an effective problem-solving process.
  • Identify the issues.
  • Understand everyone's interests.
  • List the possible solutions (options)
  • Evaluate the options.
  • Select an option or options.
  • Document the agreement(s).
  • Agree on contingencies, monitoring, and evaluation.
Favouritism
Favouritism is not something we do in the community, regardless of who you think you know, or what type of relationship you have with a person it will never give you any type of clout over anything. We believe in fair treatment for all.

"It always seems impossible until it's done" - Nelson Mandel

-Adding members to User Group the current process for adding a member to the user groups requires the general to post a request in the help desk once that member is accepted into the clan. Meaning they have reached the rank of private and are on the clan list.

-Recruits should not be getting promoted to privates if they have not registered on site, since that registering is the number one responsibility of a private. If they can not do this, they should not be promoted to private in first place.

-We are coming up on the end of the 1st quarter of the year. It might be time to take a look at your Clan/Squad lists and make sure that members are being signed up on the website. Clean out members who haven't been active in a while or who have left and some how are still left in the user groups but not on the Clan/Squad lists.

Community Game Night:
-As many know The Game with Fame is officially back and we had a successful night getting to know XGC Mini Me XD alot better last night. Be looking for more as YOU the Community will be picking in our discord polls who the next will be. In March the votes were in and KoG LOTUS XD will be having her spotlight on March 12th,2022 8pm Eastern.

-If anyone is interested in joining the Community Events Team please go to this link or ask SYN CHELL XS. We are looking for energetic people to help get more involved for all our Divisions.

Effective teamwork
Begins and ends
with communication.



Section Leaders:

*Keep in mind some short-term and long-term goals for your clan. Discuss what directions your captains want to go and give Guidance if needed.,
*Section Updates should be posted at least once every 2 months, and updated as the need arises. This helps keep track of how the clans are progressing.
*Never be afraid to fill out a Leader log, leader logs are only record-keeping, not just for yourself, but the community as a whole.
*Peep to peer relationships are just as important as the working relationship you have with your XD's, Never be hesitant to come to us with anything, good, or bad, big or small, for we are here to help in your development as leaders.
*Communication is simple if you utilize the proper tools., and all tools are provided if you know where to look.


Tournaments:

As we all know tournaments have been a major request lately, what we need to know is what kind you want. Let's get the word out, find out what our members want as a community-wide tournament. Once you have your findings report to your direct leadership. Anything to bring people together is what like-minded gamers do.


Generals:

General Classes are MANDATORY, if you have not taken the Generals Class lets to get this done ASAP! Please message your XS to get this scheduled for the best time for you and your instructors. Please contact The leadership team if you have a specific time. XGC MINI ME XD, KoG Lotus XD or SYN DESI XD. Thank you

Reminder CAPTAINS CLASSES are MANDATORY as well!!!!!

Basic everyday procedures:

Let's not forget what we have built-in in Xiled Gaming. The rank structure is there for a reason and let's see the game nights and clan meeting weekly for your section. If you aren't able then please have your Captain trained up to take on these responsibilities. Also, there has been a lot of slacking on posting the Clan and Squad lists. Let's make sure this is being done, please. Also, make sure your User Group matches your clan list. Your XS will be talking to you if not done so be prepared.

Recruiting:

Recruiting is the main way to grow your clans. If you are stagnant and not looking or trying to recruit you are not only hurting yourself but your clan as well. Let's get this going and start training up leadership. It is simple if you bring in a recruit, assign them a Sergeant to help them answer any questions they might have. This helps the Sergeant be prepared for the LT position and helps the communication within the clan.


REMEMBER COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!!

“Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel.
If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.”

TRANSFERS

When doing a transfer, the proper method for this to happen is for the person transferring to contact their General, who in turn will contact their Section Leader. The Section Leader will contact the Section Leader of the clan that they are hoping to go to, and they will contact the General of the clan that they will be moving to. Once all of this is done, and the transfer is accepted, the General should remove them from the clan list, make sure they are removed from the squad list, and post a removal request with the reason being transferring to their desired clan. When the removal request is processed on the website, the clan member will be moved from one clan to the other.

DISCORDS
Please make sure that when you are joining specific discord channels or sending links to members, names are to mirror your current website name. This'll alleviate any confusion as to who is who in the discord. Generals and Section Leaders are to assign roles for new or returning members in their specific Division Discords. You should be directing them to the Clan Assignment Channel to have them fill out the proper format. And when removing members from the community due to specific reasons, Generals and or Section Leaders should be removing them from your Division Discords as well. This would be helpful in keeping our individual discords clean and less cluttered.

SPRING CLEANING
Spring is in the air! It's time to get your forums cleaned up! Working together with your leadership to ensure that Usergroups and all lists match. Anyone who is inactive should be given notice prior to being removed. We don't want clutter forming in our forums to where it becomes hard to clean up. Don't be a hoarder.

A little progress each day adds up to big results.

Being a “Pro” leader

As a leader, are you leading from the front or from behind? There is a saying in the sled dog world, “if you are not the lead dog, the scene never changes.”

The key to leading from the front is to be proactive versus reactive. Being proactive is built into the XG proven system of leadership. Aspects of being proactive include having a plan for your section or clans, communicating that plan to your leadership, building a pipeline of leadership, and having events (game nights, recruiting nights, leadership development training, etc.) are examples of some of the proactive topics built into the XG system.

For discussion, what are some signs of being proactive versus reactive for the following:

-having a plan for section or clan
-communicating that plan
-leadership pipeline
-clan events

After this exercise, it should be obvious the importance of being a proactive leader and the areas in which you need to focus.

Leadership training

As leaders we should always be looking forward, part of this is the advancement and ensuring we are training upcoming leaders to succeed.
This entails holding leadership accountable and ensuring they are upholding their responsibilities. Suppose we find that a leader is not meeting all requirements we need to be having a talk with said member a finding out the reason and how we can resolve the issues. The best way to train someone is by example so remember to practice what you preach.


The Importance of communication:

Being a leader means taking responsibility not only for yourself but for those who follow you. It means making sure that your members are receiving the information and resources they need to achieve success in the community.
All of this requires communication with both leaders and your members and ensuring you are telling members of essential notes, events even upcoming game nights.

Summer has arrived

Summer has arrived and this means members going on vacation and spending more time outside with the family. We need to make sure we are communicating with clan members and leadership on when and how long they may be away.

Great works are performed, not by strength, but by Perseverance.
Without continual growth and progress, such words as Improvement, Achievement, and Success have no meaning.


You are not the lone ranger

Remember when it comes to being a leader you should utilize all members of your clan you are not alone. We should be listening and asking for ideas or help from up and down the chain of command.

Some examples include:
-listening to all your lower-ranking members they might have some great ideas to help your clan move forward and grow..
-utilize the captains to teach LTs and new members the honour code and running gamenights.
-Section leaders can be utilized to help with name change requests and other admin issues, as well as proving further training and giving ideas on different ways to handle issues Based on their experiences.
-XD-XI are there for you by providing tools and training forms growth of the division/community. They are also available to hear any issues or ideas to help you or the community continuento improve.

Remember, no one is expected to do everything on their on. Be willing to reach out and get the help that is in place for your success.



General's Meeting Notes:
As all Generals know they should be hosting weekly meetings with their clans. It should also be posted on the website under your clan's forum. Here is an example of what should be posted:
(Example)
Clan:
Date:
Host:
Topics:
Attendance: (Please add names and not numbers of who attended)

People rarely succeed unless
they have fun in what they do.

Streaming within the community.


The benefits of streaming are endless, streaming brings us together, We know we have some folks that are serious and trying to make it a profession, but we also have others that are using it to bring their clans together. So what does that look like in each division, each section, each clan? So We are wanting to get an understanding of what the use of streaming is within the community and the benefits streaming can offer to our overall success, so dig in ask follow up questions, open discussions., question like, how many streamers though out each section/clan/squad., how can we use streaming to push our names out there to be known and promote growth within our ranks.
What can the community provide to aid in this process. Like being hosted on the website. Announcements in the discords. ect
This is not so much a note, but an assignment.

The Primary Qualities of a Leader:

Leadership is not easy, No leader is perfect, there's always room for improvement, always be looking for the tools to aid in your journey.

Great leaders
are always ready
for the winds of change.



Full Stream Ahead!!!!!


XG is pleased to announce that the streaming capabilities on the website are now up and running. Now you stream will be featured and simulcasted on the website for all members to see. An announcement will also go out through the XG Discord to let everyone know that you are going live. (This function is glitching at the moment but should be fixed in the next few days.). The are bound to be other glitches or issues along the way, but we will jump on those as they occur.

How do I signed up? Glad you asked. This is an account upgrade that is available for $5 per month, for now. All funds will go back into the community, i.e. website and Discord updates, tournament prizes, etc..

Below are the steps to upgrade your account:

Go to your profile on the website (click your game pic in the upper right hand portion of the screen)
Tap Account Upgrades
Select the Streamer purchase button
This takes you to PayPal. YOU MUST HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT!
After you secure payment, you are placed in the Streamers user group.
Go to the Streams forum and click on the “Submit Channel” button and provide the URL for your Twitch stream.

That’s all there is to it, hopefully. Stay tuned for other items related to the XG Streamers group, such as new banners, overlays, and affiliations in the near future. If you do run into any issues during this process, hit up your leadership. Several members have been requesting this ability for a while, so we are glad to finally be able to provide it. With that in mind, always remember to pass along any ideas to make the community moving forward.




Section Leaders:

Section Leaders are the face of your section. You are the leader that everyone depends on and trust. As a Section Leader, you are to help your Generals and train them the best way possible. This means getting to know your clans, show them around the website/discord and show them where to find things. As an XS this is each of yours responsibility. Let's go over just a few that some might need a refresher on:

Oversee all aspects of a section (group of clans). This includes, but is not limited to, attending clan meetings when possible, approving transfers and XG gamertag requests, preparing clan splits, and handling any cross-clan issues that may arise.

Best advice on this is to hold a leadership meeting with each clan once a week. Attend a clan meeting at least once a month. Get to know your members by joining game nights and meeting all new recruits. Remember Communication is the Key To Success! So communicate with your Generals on a regular base.


Work with Generals. Ensure they are properly trained to uphold their responsibilities, manage their clans effectively, and handle issues and enforce the Honor Code. Speak with them regularly to discuss clan activity, their development and the development of their Captains.

Get your leaderships short term and long term goal. Ask about potential members in the clan that would like to move up into leadership. Help your General's and guide them the way you were guided by your previous XS. Go over the usergroup together as you are a TEAM!

Micromanaging: As an XS you can give out ideas to help your clan but make sure you are not Micromanaging in any way. Let your General know that you are just giving guidance or suggestions based on previous experiences. They can choose what course they will take. Remember the Clan is your General's Clan! If you see something that might help the clan, this is where you will guide your General the way he/she needs to be guided.

Generals:

Generals are the backbone of this community. As a General you all are responsible for making sure your clan is run the way it should be. You are looking for that potential leadership in everyone in your clan. Remember as a General or any member of Xiled Gaming our main goal is to have fun and game with like minded gamers. Don't lose that focus!! Here is a few things that might help:

Work with Captains. Ensure they are properly trained to uphold their responsibilities, manage their squads effectively, and handle issues and enforce the Honor Code. Speak with them regularly to discuss squad activity, their development and the development of their Lieutenants.

Get with your leadership weekly, let all your leadership know you are there to help them as well. See what their goals are and talk about how your going to help them reach that goal. Game with all your members and get to know each one. This will show your members that they can trust you and be there for them as well.

Attend mandatory bi-monthly leadership meetings to keep up-to-date on community information, and host weekly clan meetings to pass along necessary communication from upper leadership and ensure that clan issues and goals are discussed.

If you are not able to make a meeting be sure to let your XS know and have your Captain or LT step in for you. Utilize the Calendar on the website for community related activites and classes. If you have any questions be sure to go to your XS and ask. Remember their is no stupid question.

Maintain the clan’s Discord channel and clan list and updating it, at minimum, by the 1st and 15th of each month.

When updating your list by the 1st and 15th of each month, make sure your Captain has done this as well. If they are not able to then it is the Generals responsibility to do this for them. Also remember to assign roles as new members come into discord. This way they will see your clans Discord chat and know what's going on in the community and your clan.

"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for
our community...Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own."
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!

WHEN SHOULD A RECRUIT SIGN UP

Recruits can sign up anytime during 7 day trial period. Make sure to go at the Recruits pace and do not force them sign up right when being read in. Give them opportunity to do it whenever they feel that this is something they will want to be a part of. Either way, you should be holding off from adding them into the usergroup until they are ready to become Private's.

Similarly, if they are not 100% ready to commit, try inviting them only to the Xiled Gaming Server for now so they can get a feel of our community and not our Division specific Discord Servers. Remember, they are getting a feel for our community just as much as we are making sure they will be a good fit - they are not members of Xiled Gaming and should be treated as guests!

HONOR CODE AND DISCORD RULES NOT THE SAME
Our Honor Code is the foundation of Xiled Gaming as it relates to online play. These set of rules are NOT the same as Discords rules that have been set forth by leadership. Every issue however is handled on a case by case basis and therefore depending on the severity of the drama/problem on discord, it may result in consequences that effect the members stance in the community i.e warning or removal.

CAUTION WHEN MAKING LFG POSTS
It would seem that the Community Standards have changed for Xbox Live recently. This is because one of our members posted several looking for group posts on Xbox live and was banned for 2 days posting them. This may not happen to everyone, but we want to give a forewarning to all members making this kind of posts that this may happen to you.

DISCORD GAME FORUMS
As many of you have seen, Xiled Gaming Discord no longer has Game Channels. Each of the channels have been converted into forums that will allow members to post their own discussion of the topic. Whether it be Looking for Gamers to play with or just simply talk about a specific mode of each game. The forums should not be used for any negativity whatsoever. Please remember that not everyone has the same ideas as you or have the same game style play as you therefore everyone should be respectful of one another's opinions. If any issues should arise, you are welcome to reach out to your leadership and discussing it privately.
