Meeting Notes

[KoG HAVEL XD]

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.

Name Changes

For a long time, Xiled Gaming was almost always Xbox only. With the changes made a while ago, Xiled Gaming now has members on Xbox, PC, and Play Station. When a General submits a name change, not only should they list the current name,
the rank and the names wanted, but they should also list what console the member plays on.
Should that member play on multiple consoles, the console with the lowest number of characters allowed should take precedence for name length.
Which are as follows:
Xbox allows 12 characters.
Play Station allows 16 characters.
PC allows 20 characters

Discouragement within leadership

Deal with discouragement before it happens by being a positive leader. When you start to feel discouraged remember not to show this to everyone it will trickle down in the clan. When you feel like your clan has grown stagnant, Spend more time affirming and less time correcting. Give public acknowledgement, gratitude, and praise. Be available.
Three things to remember when in a rut are
remembering why you are doing this!
getting help from peers,
don't quit

Open discussion

Ask yourself these questions:
Where do you find encouragement?
How do you encourage others?
How do I know when I'm getting discouraged?
How can I overcome discouragement?
Personal reflection is never a bad thing it strengthens us as leaders.




Future Leadership:

As leaders, we want the best for our members. It is our job to train and teach each person below us (regardless of rank) how to better do their job and hopefully propel them forward in the future. Identifying this early is key! Don't wait until a position in leadership opens up before you start looking to fill that spot...you should have your eye on one, if not more, members to potentially move up into leadership roles! This is the way to build a strong foundation within your clan(s)! With good communication and training, you shouldn't have to worry about leadership!


Clan Primary Games

Your clan's primary games should stay updated consistently as the clan changes, especially with new games coming out. Get an Update Clan in tonight so everything can be brought up to date. There shouldn't be 5 main games in a clan at any point, narrow it down to 3 or less.


Promotions

Just because you reach all requirements to be promoted to the next rank does not mean you will be promoted right away. Promotions are earned not given. If you are seeking a promotion, work for it! The leadership notice it! Training Leadership As a Section Leader, your main goal should be to ensure that your Generals are knowledgeable about their responsibilities and that they feel comfortable asking questions when they aren't. However, if you are spending time training someone on the same thing over and over again, and it doesn't seem to be getting through to them, you need to figure out why that is. Whether it's that you need to find a different way to teach them or ask for assistance from a peer or XD to get this done, it needs to be a priority. If someone isn't capable of learning or retaining information, sometimes that leads to making a difficult decision and putting someone into the rank that is capable of learning. Keep in mind that if someone can't learn it themself, how could they teach it to anyone else in the ranks below them?

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.

[KoG HAVEL XD]

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.
