“Harmony: Minds vs. Ideas”

The concept of the Master Mind as conceived by Napoleon Hill was predicated on the concept of harmony. In turn, he claimed that true mind chemistry amongst people would be nearly impossible because of the task of coordinating multiple minds.

Why? Well not the least of which could be the insecurity of man and the desire to lead. Or of course the competitive nature of man to dominate others at any expense. Yet there are many examples of minds coming together to collaborate for great achievement. Simply look to Edison’s lab loaded with people grinding away in search of the right filament material.

So this begs the question: do you start by gathering the minds first or the idea or goal to rally around and let the interested minds be magnetically attracted?

What do you think?
