Why Every Leader Needs a Mastermind Group
In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I sit down with Ashim Kumar, Founder of AK Consulting, international leadership expert and certified John Maxwell coach. Together we explore the real meaning and value of Mastermind Groups — a development method that is often misunderstood and far more powerful than traditional training. Ashim walks me through the principles behind masterminding: small groups, focused conversations, shared experiences and the synergy that emerges when leaders reflect together. We talk about why participants should come from different industries, how weekly one-hour sessions create deep behavioral change, and why commitment is the essential ingredient for personal and leadership growth. Ashim also shares insights from his decades-long journey through Europe and the Middle East, his passion for leadership development, and the evolution of his own Executive Mastermind Club for senior leaders.
Key Points
- Masterminding involves small, focused groups of individuals at similar levels of experience who share and develop leadership insights through structured, facilitated discussions.
- Participants in mastermind groups gain valuable insights and behavioral changes by committing to regular, focused conversations and actions, which are reviewed and refined in subsequent meetings.
- Mastermind groups are best suited for individuals who are committed to personal and professional growth, irrespective of their level of experience, as long as they are willing to engage and contribute.
