@ Pablo – Could be difficult to determine in advance. I’ve been surprised in the past with groups I’ve been associated with. A typical scenario is hours of discussion leading to an ad hoc agreement, which then – surprise, surprise – has to be approved by an absent member! I don’t stick around in such situations anymore.

Some friends and I have also created a group we call Stirfry Startups. We meet for a weekend roughly monthly.

How would you tell if a group is consensus based before joining ?
I recently joined a group for internet marketing in which members share ideas and support each other in individual and even group projects. Definitely not concensus based, everyone there to help others and themselves.
The 2 questions you mention were easily answered in this case.

@Sean –

My SWAG (Scientific Wild A** Guess) is that it’s correlative… but combined with a large number of other correlative habit (e.g., speed of implementation), consilience makes correlation and causation indistinguishable.

It seems like the must successful people I know make good use of mastermind groups.

Causation? Correlation?

Either way, it seems to work.
