I think that what has been most amazing for me in my years of using consultants is the extent to which your work is so different and so impactful. I find that the level of intimacy that you create with your clients as a consultant enhances enormous trust and confidence in your competence. You are able to see the nuances of the problems within our organization and how they are connected to one another, simultaneously integrating multiple problems into multiple levels of solutions. You truly know the client from your analysis better than the organization knows itself. Your focus on the organization AND the individual is so different from others who seem to focus on either the individual OR the organization. I have truly discovered that if an organization is willing to embrace even three of the strategies you recommend, they would be light years ahead _ each step creating a high leverage point for the work of the organization. That you create this higher caliber leverage in your work is superior. Finally, what has helped me enormously is your ability to recommend essential placements of people that matches people to the roles that are needed by the organization, yet honor the employee. I truly appreciate what you have done for us in our organization.
