Is your clan growing? Or is it dying?

I am sure most of you have gotten the push for recruiting from your higher ups. It is everyone job to recruit, this is the lifeblood of the clan, and if your clan is not growing; then it is dying.

Although this is very true, there are more ways, other than recruiting, in which a clan should be growing or the consequences are just as grave.

Growing leaders-Are you developing the future leaders of the community? Are you taking time to ensure that members are learning about the core values, the honor code, clan structure, promote requirements, and rank structure? Reading the information to someone is not the same as explaining it to them. Make sure the members know where to find this information, along with the other training and other useful information, on the website and incorporate this information into your meetings. Set aside some time to review the information during your meetings. It doesn't have to be an hour long event, you can go over one or two things in 10-15 minutes.

Are you providing the future leaders with the opportunity to lead? Give members the opportunity to take the lead within the clan structure. Allow them to be mentors, once properly trained, to newer member, let them run a game night, or give them a topic to lead the discussion during the clan meeting. Allowing them to do so will give you some insight on there leadership potential and also help you identify areas in which they may need help.

Growing gaming opportunities-Are you providing opportunities for your clan to grow for the reason we have the gaming system; having fun! Are you providing clan gaming nights? This is a great way to get the clan members and the new members to game together and provides the clan a set time to come together. Also, are you seeking opportunities to introduce the members to the "GC" portion of XGC? There are many opportunities that your clan can be involved in to grow their network within the Gaming Community. Reach out to other clans to schedule a clan versus clan battles. (Better yet, get your clan members registered on Pwnzone.com and issue challenges through that website.) Also make sure that your are aware of and are helping spread the word about community events within the community so that your members have the opportunity to game with other XG members. Your goal should not be to just get members into the clan but to get them involved in the community.

As you can see "growing" a clan has many different aspects, each one as important to the ultimate success of your clan as the other. Your goal is to ensure that your clan is growing in all aspects, doing so will provide the next leaders of the community and continue the success of XG.
