This chapter of Napoleon Hill's classic gets a little mixed-up (both/either if you don't commit to reading the rest of the book to find out what you haven't read yet and/or if you haven't read the previous chapters thoroughly-enough), 

because he starts explaining that you need to be allied with a group of others who share your aims, but he also explains that you need a 'Master Mind' (another group of intellects who are free to meet in-conference at least twice-a-week (because they live inside your brain)).

But the point of the Master Mind is ... almost the same as 'joining a Church'—it's not so-much that you'll really be 'better than you would've been by yourself,' but more so that you'll feel 'better than you would've felt by yourself.'

You can tell that from Hill's fourth 'rule' in using your Master Mind to organize your plans:
Maintain PERFECT HARMONY between yourself and every member of your "Master Mind" group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The "Master Mind" principle cannot obtain where PERFECT HARMONY does not prevail!
When your plan is 'organized,' it is firmly built and moves forward as if-there's no obstruction in its path and -any obstruction will either be pushed-aside or destroyed. 
The word “Organize” is built on “Instrument” + -ize (Construct, Establish).
Then Hill goes into the facts: that no individual has sufficient experience, education, native ability or knowledge to insure the accumulation of a great fortune without the cooperation of other people; that 'there are two types of people: LEADERS & FOLLOWERS ...'

And there's no shame in 'being a follower,' but there's no reward in 'staying a follower'—most leaders start-out as followers, but become great leaders when they show that they are INTELLIGENT FOLLOWERS ... ones who show:

  • UNWAVERING COURAGE based upon knowledge of self, and of one's occupation.
  • SELF-CONTROL
  • A KEEN SENSE OF JUSTICE
  • DEFINITENESS OF DECISION
  • DEFINITENESS OF PLANS
  • THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID-FOR
  • A PLEASING PERSONALITY
  • SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING
  • MASTERY OF DETAIL
  • WILLINGNESS TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY
  • COOPERATION
Hill then explains the two types of leadership: leadership-BY CONSENT of, and with the sympathy of the followers; & -BY FORCE (without that sympathy or consent). And he lists several factors in leaders' failures:
  1. INABILITY TO ORGANIZE DETAILS
  2. UNWILLINGNESS TO RENDER HUMBLE SERVICE
  3. EXPECTATION OF PAY FOR WHAT THEY "KNOW" INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY DO
  4. FEAR OF COMPETITION FROM FOLLOWERS
  5. LACK OF IMAGINATION
  6. SELFISHNESS
  7. INTEMPERENCE
  8. DISLOYALTY
  9. EMPHASIS OF THE "AUTHORITY" OF LEADERSHIP
  10. EMPHASIS OF TITLE

Hill then explains how "Jobs" are now "Partnerships"—the Employee teaming-up with The Consumers to make transactions with the Employer ... a crucial part of The Miracle of Capitalism!
