Maintaining a mastermind group is a big responsibility. There are meetings to organize, schedules to make, it can be a challenge. Leaders realize they need a team to be successful. A good leader doesn't let ego get in the way. They're happy to delegate and rely on the support of others on their team.

So how do you find your leaders? You could find people with common goals, similar methods and styles. But do you need to find people like you? Or do you want leaders that compliment each other and bring their own experience and vision.

So where are these people? They could be anywhere. They have varying degrees of experience and success in business and in life. These people don't call themselves leaders. They just do what comes naturally. They help other people. They lead with their heads and their hearts.

Often times all you need to do is pay attention. You will recognize these people. They tend to attract the people around them. In the mastermind we talk about energy. The sense of feeling we all get when we're around certain people.

Just as certain people make us feel down or anxious, there are people who lift us up, make us feel energized. Leaders energize us. We can sense the lack of personal agenda, that genuine interest in helping us. Those people are leaders, even if they don't call themselves leaders.

Whether you're running a mastermind, working a business or are active in your community. Pay attention, listen and learn. No one can do it by themselves and no matter how successful you are there's always something to learn.
