Advice

TLDR: Take care of officers. Delegate everything. Update this wiki, frequent status reports. Make sure that all officers enable Slack notifications and CC ACM for ALL emails.

Keep the well being of your officers in mind. Ask them how they are doing. If they are struggling with completing a task ask why, and ask if there is anything you can do to help. Do nice things for your officers. Being an officer can be stressful, especially for successful officers. With that in mind, delegate all but 0% of tasks. You should be doing as little as possible directly. This will help officers learn to complete important tasks, and it will give you a buffer when things fall apart.

In order to keep communication transparent and moving quickly, require that all officers enable desktop notifications from Slack, as well as CC all ACM related emails to [email protected] on EVERY response. Update this wiki constantly, and repeatedly encourage your officers to do the same.
