Meeting Notes 5/17/2020
Anyone who is in a leadership position needs to understand that you not only represent yourself, but the community as well. When you talk people hear it and they are going to make judgments on what you said and how you said it. Remember that there are times and places for everything. There are times that we can be the goof ball, and mess around; but there are times like in meetings, or handling issues that we need to put on that straight face and conduct business like a professional.
As a reminder, you and your Generals should be getting members registered on Clan Compete if they aren't already. This is where all clan battles, X-Team Challenges, and competitive players and teams can go to issue challenges and have some fun and friendly competitions!
If you or your Generals need assistance with Clan Compete, please hit up your chain of command with any questions or issues you run into with the website. Click here for a list of Clan Compete Staff and Admins.

Accountability
As a leader in XG, you have displayed the drive and desire to be an asset to help XG grow. However, once you reach the next level, are you holding yourself, your peers, and your clans accountable to the high standard that XG requires? Are you using the tools that are available to continue to grow the community and future leaders? Or are you taking it easy, now "that you made it?" You must hold yourself accountable to continue to grow as a leader and to uphold the ideals of XG. This is done with your day to day attitude and actions being consistent with what is expected of a leader in XG. You cannot be effective if you are only being accountable part of the time.
Communication
Many times we have discussed the importance of communication and the fact that it is the Key to Success of XG. Information needs to be shared up and down the chain of command so that everyone is working as one team to continuously improve XG. For the most part, the leaders of XG do a good job of disseminating the information, as requested. No one should have an issue sharing upcoming game nights, Game with Fame, or of a recent promotion or clan split, because this is good news.
However, as a leader in XG, you must also be able to have any "difficult" conversations when needed. If someone in a leadership position is failing short of the requirements and expectation, a conversation needs to be had to explain where they are lacking, what they need to do to correct the deficiencies, and the timeline to do so. In order to recognize when these types of conversations are needed, you must be actively engaging the leadership of your clans or sections. By being a proactive leader and being willing to have the needed conversations, your clan or section will have the leadership needed to be successful, thus making XG stronger.
Shutting Down Clans
When a clan is shut down, it is as a last resort, when everything else has been tried, but the clan is still falling apart or doesn't have the full clan structure in place. These decisions are made after a lot of thought and consideration by the leadership involved with that clan. Of course, nobody likes shutting down a clan but sometimes it is a necessary decision, and everybody should understand that. No drama should be coming from people who do not agree with the decision.
We all understand that it can be upsetting, but please know that shutting down a clan is not done with ill intent, but rather to make sure that all members are in a clan with the correct rank structure in place where they can game and have fun, and also grow as a leader if that is what they want to do. As leaders sometimes difficult choices have to be made and they should be handled with maturity and the confidence that you are making the right decision for the clan and the members within that clan.
