What makes an outstanding Consultant?

​Day 439 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

CONSULTANCY SKILLS
 
It’s sometimes hard
to be a leader,
to stand out  and
to stand alone.
 
This is the primary role
of a Consultant.
To have a perspective
and to lead.
 
Our role is to challenge
the value system,
for how else can we
give value for money?
 
And how else
will we enable others
to make changes,
that can make a difference?
 
We will not always
win the contract, for many
do not want to  listen,
or change.
 
At times, we are all
called as Consultants,
to stand out  and 
to stand alone.
