Failure doesn't mean GAME OVER!
It means try again with EXPERIENCE!
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.
Leadership Growth & Development
Development of leadership abilities should always be a high priority for you, leadership, and all clans. Thinking about how you communicate and speak to all members is crucial, as well as always conducting ourselves in a professional manner. Stay calm when handling situations. Gaining respect of members will go a long way, especially when looking out for potential future leaders and keeping clans successful, regardless of if they are in your section or not. Constantly learning whether it's from your peers, your direct leadership, or non-leadership members is crucial. Asking for advice is key in growing yourself and keeping yourself motivated and driven to do the best you can do, which sometimes is simply knowing how and when to ask for help.
A good leader never allows complacency to take hold - stay on top of your game always, including making decisions in a timely manner. That will set you and your section up for success and be a good example to up and coming leaders who rely on you and your guidance. Make sure you are finding the balance between being involved, but also allowing your leaders to handle things within their capabilities as much as possible to allow them to grow and thrive. Even when they make mistakes, it's a part of the learning experience that oftentimes helps them to grow better, while also making sure that the same mistake isn't made twice.
Think outside the box and don't be afraid to try new ideas to see if they work and encourage members to bring up their ideas for how to make the clan better. By setting up future leaders for success you'll make things easier for everyone, including yourself - let them find their own style of leadership and help them whenever possible, and don't be afraid of change as it is something that will always happen as times change and we have to adapt.
It's Summertime!
Leaders, during the summer months people are taking vacations and are doing things outside. Members gaming time may be less than usual. Ensure you are communicating with your members and understanding they may be on less. Before removing someone for inactivity send them messages and give them time to respond with their status. In the time between longer periods between leadership meetings section Leaders should still be meeting with their generals to know what's going on in the clan. Generals should still be sitting in on 1 clan meeting a week and rotating clan meeting you attend. Review the responsibilities commensurate with the rank your members hold periodically to ensure those responsibilities are being fulfilled.
