Leadership can be summed up in one word: initiative.
Within that idea, we have resourcefulness, flexibility, respect, compassion, accountability, and communication.
Should anyone have a desire for a particular group aspect of the game whether warzones, Illum, ops, or flashpoints - here is my recommendation.
1] First ask in guild chat. Pick up those who respond.
Note: Because people might be involved elsewhere, they may not see your question. Create a guild tab (instructions in another sticky)!
2] To fill out the group, use a person's name specifically in guild chat OR send a tell (holomail or guild msg) to people who you think might be interested.
Note: The reason for this is it gives an audible ding should they have missed your first guildchat message.
3] Wait for a response. If they reply in the negative for something you'd like to do now, especially with them (because they are the same lvl, same mission, or in the same area), ask them about their availability.
- "When would be a good time to get together to do _________?"
- "Can we do it (later today, tomorrow, over the weekend)?"
This empowers the other person, they get some control and cooperation. You have demonstrated initiative and given a timeline. People like and need this.
Also, ask about any conflicts they have that might interfere....such as walking the dog.
4] Repeat this process for the next person.
5] If someone's schedule doesn't coincide as well with the other people, keep searching. They will get in eventually because you will be more flexible with your time than the rest of the group especially with Sabers
6] If possible, make a schedule and/or try to do it at a regular time.
Note: We do have generic nights on which we do things.
7] I personally try to find contacts in other guilds so we can build those alliances and friendships but so we can fill a group that just needs one more person. This has been difficult for me as of late, but will get better.
8] If you simply can't get anyone together that night, you should have the info of at least one person who is on board with you for another evening. Wait and do it then.
Caveat: Try your best not to randomly send out invites without giving the person prior warning and having some conversation. Some may see it as epic, but some may see it as rude.
Take the initiative Sabers and let's show em how it's done!
