http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/md-saurfang.jpgThe We Have a Tabard (http://www.wow.com/category/we-have-a-tabard/) series is designed to help guild leaders, officers, members achieve their goals to maximize their cooperative experience.
I'm relatively new to leading a raiding guild. I've been working on building and training my team for about six months. I've been leading the recruiting and correcting members, managing raids, and in general trying to make my online family as functional as possible. It's a lot of work for one person, and no matter how much I love my guildies I have to admit that I am tired.
The best thing that I've ever done for myself and my guild is to ask for help. I have some great players in my guild that are well respected by other members and the server community. They have expertise in areas that do I do not. Probably most importantly they are less likely to mince words than I do and are willing to do what it takes to get the job done. Having some backup has helped some become more invested in the guild and has really lightened my load.
Choosing who to ask for help can be a tough call. It does little good to select only your favorites or your friends, if they are not successful leaders. Take several factors into account when selecting a council of officers (http://www.wow.com/2009/03/16/officers-quarters-time-for-another-rant/):Continue reading We Have a Tabard: A little help from my friends (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/19/we-have-a-tabard-a-little-help-from-my-friends/)
