aving been part of a mastermind group that has been running for almost 5+ years there are few things that are normally overlooked. We ask questions on how to make the group better and what we can do to make it enjoyable but what we don't ask is how each participant directly or in-directly influences the group.
There is still no reason why such evaluation should take place. Perhaps it is to help each individual know how others perceive them. May be it is a fun exercise to do. Some of the reviews might be biased and not accurate. Hard to say. Irrespective what the outcome is collecting data will always give new insights. At the end of the review my goal is to have answers to the below questions.
- So what is the goal of such reviews?
- Are such reviews beneficial ?
- How to take effective action after such reviews?
- Exactly who will evaluate them?
- What does the evaluation include?
- When during the group will the evaluation be done?
- Why are their peers evaluating them?
- How will their peers evaluation affect their performance / contribution / group dynamics?
To get the reviews started, below is a set of questions to help evaluate each participant in a mastermind group.
