| This is a simple reminder for all Generals and Colonels or future Generals and Colonels, by request, to help you indicate any problems in your branch or simply just to better your branch!
Questions/Answers: #1) Running Meetings.
-Please make sure ALL your meetings are ran!!! At staff meetings, ask a variety of your staff.. "Hey. Can you run the 5 or the 9 tomorrow? or Sat.. it's easy and will create a stronger upper staff. If you are on or want to be on a different game, take 30 seconds to find someone to run the meeting or see that it's being ran. This is most important for your lowest members, if you have low staff, msg another general of another branch to inv for you, I know it's a pain running every meeting sometimes; if you lack the people. Feel free to message another branch's higher staff if you see it is not being ran. #2) Is your branch boring? Are people bored in your branch?
-Look for things to do in your branch, such as Teams, Tournaments, Scavenger Hunts, Contests, etc.
-If your staff are getting bored running meetings, assign them to other staff and look at your mid-range ranks and teach them how to do meetings to give your highest staff a bit of a break. Make sure everyone is sharing the work, otherwise people will get burnt out doing everything, and it isn't fair for them. #3) How often do you send out Branch Messages?
-Branch messages are very important! You should always send out a reminder meeting time msg to everyone, at least every 2-3 weeks, reminding them of clan meeting, staff meeting and generals meetings for rank and time zones.
-On the opposite weeks you should remind your SGTS and below about recruiting, so they can get promoted that week. -Any tournament should be sent out in a branch message to everyone regarding the time/day/details/ and who is running. (Most branch msgs should be in text, which you can do over xbox.com but i know it can be a pain if you do not have a keypad for your Xbox 360 Controller.) #4) Lacking Tournaments
-Tournaments are very easy! If it seems like it's been a while since someone is running one, mention it at a clan meeting, anyone at any rank can run one, but you sometimes do need to assign your staff to host one. It can be as easy as a Team Snipes down to Custom Maps/Games. Don't hold back signing people up to run them. #5) Candy Promotions
-Are people getting candy promos? Well, sometimes you have to do this! If your branch needs certain ranks- mostly CPLS/SGTS/LTS and maybe CAPTAINS, someitmes people need to be promoted early, just to balance your branch,
-What if they don't need the promo but, are promo'd anyway. If you recently branched off and you make all your staff early, such as already having 4 majors or 2 cmnders, guess what, your branch will be slow to move, you need to refrain from promoting people too early past CAPT, especially when your maxed at certain high ranks. You don't want to put all the stress on them to run all the meetings for the next two months before you will branch off again. Take your time, remember the ranking structure, and that people should be CAPT for 4 weeks -Mjrs 4 weeks, etc.
