Who said it could not be done? and what great victories has he to his credit which qualify him to judge others accurately.
A mastermind may be developed by a friendly alliance, in a spirit of harmony of purpose, between two or more minds.
No two or more minds ever met without creating, out of that contact, another mind, but this creation is not always a master mind.
There may be, and altogether too often there is, developed out of the meeting of two or more minds a negative power which is just the opposite of a mastermind.
Ability to bring people together is the chief outstanding quality of leadership.
"An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding and it is not found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself." -Robert Louis Stevenson
The most effective alliances, which have resulted in the creation of the principle known as the master mind, have been those developed out of the blending of the minds of men and women.
The reason for this is that the minds of male and female will more readily blend in harmony than will the minds of only one gender.
One of the most detrimental of these obstacles is that of unfortunate alliance with minds that do not harmonize.
In such cases the alliance must be broken or the end is sure to be defeat and failure.
It is a million times better to meet and face criticism than to be dragged down to failure and oblivion as a result of alliances that are not harmonious, whether the alliance be of a business or social nature.
While it is true that some minds will not blend in a spirit of harmony and cannot be forced in a spirit of harmony, and cannot be forced to induced to do so because of the chemical nature of the individuals' brain, do not be too ready to charge the other party to your alliance with all the responsibility for lack of harmony remember, that trouble may be with your own brain! Remember, also, that a mind that cannot and will not harmonize with one person or more may harmonize perfectly with other types of minds.
If you cannot do great things yourself, remember that you may do small things in a great way.
Organizations need to hold a lunchtime meeting once a week. An hour and half is devoted to the meeting.
This gives each individual member an opportunity to profit by the ideas of all the other members.
It is possible to make an almost endless variety of adaptations of this plan.
The justification for its use is that it pays! It pays not only the leader, but everyone who is part of the team.
