When you are the manager, it can be down-right difficult to get candid critiques or compliments that are not coated with ulterior motives or filtered by fear. Your team does not want to tell you something that might put them on your “bad side”, so they choose to tell you that which is more likely to land them on your “good side” Getting honest-to-goodness feedback from reports is not as easy as one might think.

When you're starting off as a consultant, you might take the first one or two engagements a client offers. However, at some point, you'll see an engagement that is wrong. It's wrong for the client.
