Netcees Leadership Team Update - October - Page 3

Netcees:

My primary goal since purchasing the site a week and a half ago has been to collaborate with the current leadership team to get a sense for who is on-board to make some productive changes in the near-term to improve the boarding experience today, and execute on some novel ideas to build upon this thing we do called 'text'.

There are some AMAZING writers in this space. The 'genre' itself, of "Creative & Competitive Writing", does not get the publicity it should. We will be expanding our reach over time. We will look to make this a rewarding, even financially rewarding in many cases, experience for all as we move into 2014.

One of my personal goals is to 'engage' with the community a bit more to give the team a better sense of where we are, and where we're going.

Below is a summary of the 'foundational' things we've done - and a brief look into some of the more tactical things to come. Right now - it has been ALL about setting the stage, for a self-sustaining leadership system, we will be building upon that foundation to introduce the "real cool shit" from there!

1.0 Mission Statement

"To provide and facilitate a productive community of writers, for writers."

Short and sweet.

Completed: 10.13

2.0 The Leadership Agreement:
I'm not in the business of over-policing shit - quite the opposite - I just want to make sure the right leaders are in place to share a consistent message and can be trusted to execute in accordance to our vision.

The Action Requested PLEASE REPLY TO THIS THREAD to acknowledge whether you are still interested in continuing your leadership role; and in general, agree with the following high-level principles:

That our highest level ‘mission’, out the gate at least, could be surmised as “A community of writers, for writers”
That shaping our culture, over time, in alignment with our mission is crucial for successfully realizing it.
That in order to shape our culture in accordance with our vision, it is crucial to secure the type of leadership that ‘acts the way we want the community to be tomorrow’, rather than ‘reacts to the way it is today’.
That you either (a) do not believe text is dead, or if you do, (b) also believe it can be resurrected.

The current leadership team, as it stands today, consists of:
- namix, Sharp Nine, Meth, PancakeBrah, Mike Wrecka, Split Eight, Allen Knight, Certain, Neighbor, Sn00p, Genocide, Strikta
