The Flawless Consulting Fieldbook and Companion: A Guide to Understanding Your Expertise Paperback - 2000 - 1st Edition
by Peter Block; Andrea Markowitz
This fieldbook is packed with sample scenarios, case studies, and client-consultant dialogues to show readers what "flawless consulting" is really about. It takes the practical approach of flawless one step further, and includes more hands-on tools, action plans, and implementation checklists. Block's down-to-earth lessons apply equally well to external consultants, internal staff members, managers, executives, and communicators. Index.
First line
We live in a one-minute culture in which speed is God and time is the devil.
From the rear cover
A FRIEND INDEED!
IN THIS TIME of free agency, outsourcing, and cross-functional work teams, consulting has become a part of everyone's job. Plus, we live in an era in which we are forced to hire professionals to provide the help we used to seek from friends. Some of this need for instant expertise is for reassurance; some is just that we do not have time to learn it ourselves. So, despite all the ambivalence surrounding consulting, it has grown into big business and generally infiltrated our lives.
The intent of this book is:- To support the integrity of your expertise
- To change your mind about how you interpret your own consulting experience
- To broaden your way of thinking
- To bring a manageable dose of therapy and art, philosophy, and literature into you thoughts about consulting; and
- To do it in a comforting and simple way
Enjoy this book, let it accompany you into the field, and use it as encouragement for writing your own story--which may be the point of it all.
"In Peter's characteristically accessible style, this complement to the recently revised Flawless Consulting skillfully challenges consultants to learn what moves us towards more accountability and to discover what releases the commitment and passion inherent to the experience of being human."--GORDON C. BROOKS, MSOD program administrator, The Graziadio School of Business and Management, Pepperdine University
"This book is a must read for anyone consulting or considering consulting. Peter has once again broken new ground with The Flawless Consulting Fieldbook & Companion."
--STEVE GIBBONS, past president, The Association for Quality and Participation
