Great Leaders Don't set out to be a perfect Leader,
They set out to make a Difference.
It's Never about the Role- Always about
The Goal !!
Positive Message - Positive Results
As Leaders in this community, it is our duty to maintain the image of a Positive Leader - we set the example for existing & future leaders by promoting positivity in our day to day interactions. Make sure you and your leaders are leading the way for obtaining positive results, just by how we conduct ourselves, never fall victim to negativity - reach out for help when you need it!
The 3 Core Values of Xiled Gaming
- Honor ~ Be honest and truthful in our dealings with peers, superiors and subordinates
- Courage ~ Have the courage to make decisions in the best interest of the XG community
- Commitment ~ Be committed to positive change and constant improvement for yourself and the XG community
The Foundation of XG
XGC~ Xiled Gaming Clan ~ 18 and up, mature gamers
XGG~ Xiled Gaming Girls ~ female only
SYN~ SYNdicate ~ 16 and up, underground gamers
KoG~ Kings of Gaming ~ 16 and up- recreational gamers
The Honor Code is the foundation of Xiled Gaming whether you are part of SYN, KoG, XGC, or XGG. We all agreed to follow the honor code as well as what sets us apart from other clans and communities - our Rank Structure, Promotion Requirements, and Clan Structure. These are accompanied by communication, which is always the key to success, and the three Core Values of Xiled Gaming, this gives us an unbreakable foundation to stand upon. This will help prepare the pipeline of future leaders and also reinforce the reasons why XG is successful.
Recruitment Process
When recruiting, remember there is no need to fill a quota, your main goal as a recruiter should be quality before quantity. Meaning we want the quality recruits, because they will become a quality member. Quality recruits will also ensure a quality gaming atmosphere within the clan and community. This quality atmosphere is what XG was founded to create. This brings up the point of the what qualities a gamer must possess.
XG sees a quality gamer as someone who possesses:
- Sportsmanship
- Respect
- Fair Play
Several things are going to need to be covered when reading a recruit in, these things include:
- The Honor Code
- The Rank Structure
- Registering on xiledgaming.com as well as clancompete.com
- When registering on the website, username should match their Gamer Tag
- Meeting and practice times
- Who the General and XS are
Be the Leader Your Members Deserve on All Levels:
Get to know your leaders. Each leader has different personalities, perspectives, drive, and special needs. We must know our leaders on a personal level to properly evaluate what they need in order to grow as a leader. This may require more then just the normal conversation on Sundays or a meeting during the week. We should be gaming with our leaders, because there is so much you can find out about a person from listening to how they react in game settings. The key is to get close to your leadership but you also must set boundaries so you don't get emotionally involved. Once we figure out what drives the leaders, what their leadership goals are, as well as their strengths, and their personality, then we can make a game plan for each individual leader to ensure the utmost success.
Meetings
Section Leaders should be helping their Generals and making sure the topics are understood in case of any questions that may arise, and all topics being conveyed in meetings. Don't pick and choose what you want to cover, cover everything that pertains to members, and add clan specific information as well.
For each clan meeting, make sure that you are including some sort of training information - examples would include:
1. An article from the Honor Code
2. Something from the rank structure, clan structure, or promotion requirements
3. Core Values
4. Anything else to help train members/leadership
The goal of this would be to help prepare the leadership pipeline and make sure people are aware of all XG policies and rules, and will help the clan and community be successful.
Generals should be having conversations about the notes, not just reading verbatim, meetings are a great opportunity to have a captain or lieutenant lead the discussion as well, to make sure they know what they are going over and stimulate participation of the group.
Sensitive Information
As XG Leaders, we need to remind our members that while we don't control who you play or talk to, we do ask that you don't discuss clan business in front of people who don't need to hear it. If people are asking you questions about what's going on in a specific clan, division, or with specific leaders, let them know that you aren't comfortable discussing that with them.
When it comes to people asking general questions of course that's fine, but information that is for leadership within the community only can't be discussed with lower-ranking members or people outside of the community. For clarification and questions, please hit up your chain of command.

Meeting Notes 11.01.2020
UNITY IS STRENGTH.
WHEN THERE IS TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION,
WONDERFUL THINGS CAN BE ACHIEVED.
Section Leaders/Generals
PROFESSIONALISM
When dealing with members in any setting within XG, Professionalism is always a key to getting across the points of interest within the conversation that is happening. Raising your voice, insulting others, and refusing to listen to all points of view, will cause drama and will not be productive to the conversation or any situation.
THE HONOR CODE
In Article 6 of the Honor code it states that:
XG members CANNOT be apart of any other gaming communities/clans! Any and all gamer tags must be either in XG clans or in none at all. XG does NOT have ANY alliances with other gaming communities/clans! XG will remain friendly and professional with ALL gaming communities at all times! ZERO TOLERANCE! If a XG 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.
LEADERSHIP CLASSES

Meeting Notes 11/8/2020
Great Things Never Came
From Your Comfort Zone
Honor Code Section VII
Violation of the Honor Code will earn a Gamer a warning; two warnings and you will be banned from the community. Members caught purposely cheating and/or participating in manipulated online play will be immediately banned. No exceptions!
Religion & Politics
We are an online gaming community, meaning that we are here to game, not to talk about subjects such as religion and politics. Talking about these topics are deeply personal to each person, and talking about them can cause huge issues between clan members and even members in different sections or divisions, and have even caused clans to completely fall apart. Keep in mind that these topics should not be brought up between members and any discussions about these topics are very sensitive, so it's best to completely avoid discussions about them at all.
Official Communication
Official XG Communication should only take place on:
1. Xiled Gaming Website
2. Xbox Party Chat or Messages
3. Official XG Discord Servers
Creating Facebook groups, Discord servers, Kik chats, or anything else that is used to discuss clan business or Xiled Gaming topics besides the three official forms of communication will cost you your rank and possible membership in XG. This DOES NOT include chats or Discord servers for non-XG related topics, such as streaming Discords or official game Discord servers - if you need clarification, hit up your chain of command.
Discord is not mandatory for any ranks other than XS-XI, but is highly encouraged as a way to keep on touch with and meet other members who play the same games.
https://www.xiledgaming.com/threads/xg-communication.75286/
Sensitive Information
When speaking about information with leadership that is sensitive, whether over a party or in messages, make sure that this information isn't being brought up around members that it doesn't pertain to. This can be regarding promotions, demotions, warnings, etc. If a leader is spreading information around to members that it shouldn't be discussed with, disciplinary action will be taken which can include demotion or even removal from the community.
https://www.xiledgaming.com/threads/leaking-sensitive-information.74857/
Working with Peers
To be successful as a group of leaders, we have to work together 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. All leaders have had different experiences and have advice or perspectives to offer for specific situations or know how to answer a question that you might not know. Be willing to listen to ideas or perspectives, because it's hard for one person to consider all options and ideas by themselves. Make yourself an asset to anyone you can help when they are dealing with a situation they haven't had to previously.
Examples:
1. Clan is struggling and is rebuilding - offer advice or support so that person or clan doesn't feel like they are alone and that people have their back.
2. A clan struggles with recruiting new members, while your clan steadily brings in recruits on a regular basis. Tell them your tactics and even team up and go recruiting together to help them become more comfortable and also show them different ways that they hadn't tried.
3. Someone new has been promoted that was previously under you - be there to listen to their questions and offer advice to them as they become accustomed to their new rank, continue building that mentor/protégé relationship that you have already established.
Game Nights
We have community wide events which are hosted by our community Events Team, that are listed each week in meeting notes - if you or any member are interested in hosting events which are open to the entire community, please apply by posting an application here: EVENTS TEAM APP AREA
Members and leaders are welcome to host clan game nights, squad game nights, or even section game nights, but community wide events must be hosted by members of the official Events Team. Please be considerate that if a game night is already taking place on a night when someone else is doing an unofficial game night, it can pull people away from the opportunity of meeting other members across the community. If you have questions about the Events Team, please hit up either XGC Buffy XD or SYN JAChelle XS on Xbox.

A leader is one who goes the way, knows the way, shows the way.
With the NEW Call Of Duty Cold War game out, there should be no excuses to recruiting members. Get out and meet new people and get them in the community. Make sure we are holding every member accountable for recruiting. Remember quality over quantity. There is also New DLC's coming out. So let's try and get out there and game with new people and see if there are what we look for in Xiled Gaming.
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. Our community is based on the 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 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 gamers to be a part of the environment you want to create within your section, with this you will be helping us pull the rope. Just remember that we all are facilitators of fun!
*Training Recruits: It takes a whole clan to be open to new members, invite these potential members to games, welcome them, be a good example, show them the ropes, teach 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.
*Clan & Squad Practices: Training together, learning the tactics or strategies for the clan games, 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: 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 if we win or lose, we always say good game!
*Meetings: Meetings are a great place to share ideas, celebrate successes, discuss any issues, offer feedback on how to improve our clan and squad environments, and vote on new recruits. Remember, we can't make things better without teamwork. Team Effort is what it is all about. More hands make lighter work!
*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 their followers.
No member gets left behind: ensue all gamers are involved with their squad and other clan members, make sure you and your leadership are reaching out to the ones who are not to find out why and if they can help get them more active and involved.
Section 9 Honor Code
BOTTOM LINE!!! Have fun, play games, and network with other gamers that share the same interest. At the end of the day, it is after all just a game!

No one person is bigger than the whole, no one 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 gamers to be a part of the environment you want to create within your section, with this you will be helping us pull the rope. Just remember that we all are facilitators of fun!
*Training Recruits: It takes a whole clan to be open to new members, invite these potential members to games, welcome them, be a good example, show them the ropes, teach 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.
*Clan & Squad Practices: Training together, learning the tactics or strategies for the clan games, 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: 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 if we win or lose, we always say good game!
*Meetings: Meetings are a great place to share ideas, celebrate successes, discuss any issues, offer feedback on how to improve our clan and squad environments, and vote on new recruits. Remember, we can't make things better without teamwork. Team Effort is what it is all about. More hands make lighter work!
*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 their followers.
No member gets left behind: ensue all gamers are involved with their squad and other clan members, make sure you and your leadership are reaching out to the ones who are not to find out why and if they can help get them more active and involved.
Section 9 Honor Code
BOTTOM LINE!!! Have fun, play games, and network with other gamers that share the same interest. At the end of the day, it is after all just a game!

Meeting Notes 12/6/2020
Leaders become great not because of power but their ability to empower others
Stream Advertisement
The XG Communty Discord will now offer stream promotion and all things stream related. Follow for following, stream help, and stream suggestions. The point of this is for members to help new streamers, bring each other closer by being able to interact with members via stream and support each other's stream dream(s).
Cross-Platform Good News
We will be adding areas in the XG Discord for PlayStation gamers. This will include a place to share Activision IDs so Playstation gamers can cross-play and be apart of our community. They can utilize discord chats to communicate in-game or in-game lobby. The only requirement is that discord is used for these gamers. Them having the Xbox app is not required. If there is another game (PubG, Fortnite, rocket league, etc.) that needs to have these places created for such communication we will make those as well. There are no plans to make clans specific for PlayStation gamers. We are a gaming community and not specific to Xbox.
Clan & Squad Meetings
With Xiled Gaming welcoming gamers from Playstation and PC, clan and squad meetings can be held from the clan voice chat in the respective XG Divisional Discord as needed. It is not required to hold meetings via Discord, if you are able to hold meetings over Xbox and that is working for you then continue to do so, just know that it is an option to use Discord if needed. We will be adding areas for PC gamers in the XG Community Discord. These areas will offer a place for PC gamers to share Steam usernames, as well as areas for gamers to share the appropriate IDs so members can find people to play PC games with.
We will have game lobbies on discord for these games that will allow members to communicate on Discord if they choose to. The point of these changes is making the Xiled Gaming Discord open for everyone and to bring gamers together regardless of the platform they game on. We will be able to bring in new members and bring our current members together to play games across all platforms. We encourage all members to participate and share in these areas.
Xiled Leader Discord Chat
https://www.xiledgaming.com/threads/xiled-staff-discord-server.75159/
Make sure you are sending it to your leaders so they can join and be part of the Gen-XI chat as well as the Gen-XS chat for your division (KoG, SYN or XGC).
Additionally, Generals and above have the ability to assign roles to members when they join - make sure they are getting the link out to new members and getting them assigned so all members have access to their clan chat box and can communicate with their fellow clan members. Make sure leadership are putting out clan news and announcements as needed, as well as using the leadership channel. Communication is the key to success!
Clan Structure
The goal of the CLAN STRUCTURE is to create smaller, tighter, stronger more personal clans. A clan is a group of friends who gets on to play together. Think for a minute, when you turn on your console who are you looking for first? The people you look for or text before you turn on your console, those are your clan members.
Gone are the days of big clans. Gone are the days of dragging *** to get your clan split. Gone are the days of waiting for promotion. Do what's required for promotion, do what's required to split and it's going to happen. If it doesn't go straight to an XC or XI.
With XG being in so many games and having members on so many platforms we MUST execute our clan structure perfectly in order to ensure YOU as a member are playing with like minded gamers and enjoying playing with your friends.
1 General per 20-30 Members (Limit 1 per clan)
1 Captain to a minimum of 4 Members (Making this a Squad)
1 Lieutenant per Captain per squad.
There are NO amounts or ratios of sergeants or privates per clan or squad!
The proven Xiled Gaming rank structure will be followed exactly how it is written!
All recruits must be introduced to their squad members and get to know them for the first seven days in the squad. Recruits must be put into squads with members who play similar games and on similar consoles. If a member of a squad switches games or consoles they must be transferred to a different squad or clan if necessary. These transfers will be approved by your section leader.

Meeting Notes 12/13/2020
Think of the solution, not the problem. If your mind was filled only with thoughts of why you were going to lose, then you couldn't think of how to win.
All XG members are encouraged to share any issues or ideas through the chain of command and with XC/XI at ANYTIME! The leaders of Xiled Gaming believe in the open-door policy in order to encourage openness and transparency with all members of the community.
Name Changes
Please remember when members change their name that they need to seek proper approval by following the chain of command.
First, make sure they are reporting the names they wish to their captain, who will then pass the names on through the proper chain of command.
Once the XS has approved the name, please inform all leadership of the name change, ie captains, generals, and section leaders.
Please also make sure to request a name change on the website.
Generals, it is also your responsibility to remind members who are requesting to change their name with KoG, XGC or SYN, to make sure the names are approved on the website by an Admin prior to changing it on Xbox. You should also be researching these names as well to ensure that the name is currently not taken on the website by another. Names are not to replicate someone else's name or a Clan Name, as well as making sure they are not inappropriate.
Holiday Season
Just a quick reminder that the Holiday season is here and with Christmas less than two weeks away a lot of members will be traveling and spending more time with their families, and might not be as active with gaming as before.
We are asking to remind members to send a quick message to their leadership to inform them if they will be gone so nobody is worried about them.
We would also like to remind you that many people will also get new games and consoles at this time, So remember it's prime time to recruit as well.
X-Team Challenges
With the New Year coming up, XTEAM Challenges will be picking up as well. Teams will be set up for either Casual Challenges or Competitive Challenges in both Core and Hardcore game style plays. Xteam Challenges will be held on Clan Compete like before. Each Team will be able to challenge the XTEAM to a battle with specifications of whether it be CORE or HARDCORE (COMPETITIVE or CASUAL). Challenges are to be posted One Week in advance to ensure that each team will have enough time to prepare. However, XTEAM will also be handing out Challenges as well to Clans through Clan Compete. This would be a way for Leaders to join and participate as well as meet members in this community. If you have any questions, feel free to please hit up KoG Turdz XD or KoG LOTUS XD for further information.

XGC / KoG Honor Code

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.

Honor Code violations consist of discrimination, racism, sexism, harassment, illegal drugs, cheating, poaching, squad de-ranking, or any other overly aggressive behavior toward fellow online gamers. Cheating is defined as any manipulation of online play; this includes, but 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!

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!**

Meeting Notes 1/10/2021
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.

Meeting Notes 1/17/2021
You have always got to be forward thinking to stay ahead of the game
XS 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.
Section Update
Please keep your section updates updated, so if there is any question as to what is happening everyone can be on the same page. This will aide us in keeping up with progress of all goals moving forward.
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.

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!!

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

What does it take to become a great leader?
Leadership is not easy, nor is it for everyone, it takes a highly driven individual to be a successful leader, "You are not born a leader", it takes dedication, professionalism, good decision-making, and years of learning by experience to become a great leader. The key to being an effective leader is to remain humble and approachable; Never get a big head, never loose your cool, be respectful, A leader leads by example and sets the tone, if your having a fun, your team will have fun. Your enthusiasm is contagious, remember, we all pull the rope together. Below are links that will be beneficial to your growth as a leader:

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!

“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 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.
it comes from what you do consistently.

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.

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.
