Clients hire your consulting firm because they trust you to help them solve their problems or achieve their aspirations; because they accept your authority in your area of expertise.

That can trigger a precipitous drop in perceived value (and fees), … Continued The post How to Sound Authoritative (and Why it Matters for Your Consulting Firm) appeared first on David A.

During one of my recent consulting experiences, I received a piece of advice from my supervisor that saved our engagement. His advice was specific to consulting, but applicable to other areas of business too. I was assigned to a typical strategy engagement – should client X selling product Y increase sales in market Z? Our hypothesis was that increased sales volume would be associated with increased profitability due to economies of scale.

The phrase– exodus of quiet quitting at work– refers to employees who still go to work. However, they underperform purposefully. A company must understand that quiet quitting in the workplace is happening and most likely lethal. The employees disengage from their work and organization without overtly expressing their intentions or concerns.

Confidence doesn’t just follow success, it’s also an important driver behind achieving future outcomes. Project professionals who are confident in their abilities—or who at least believe in the capabilities of their broader team—are in the right mindset to think strategically, to accurately and effectively assess and address risks, and to move forward with actions that align with project success.

I previously wrote a similar article for those in consulting coming from undergrad. Now I want to highlight the outlook for those who joined consulting from grad school. Although there are extensive parallels, the grad school pool is decently different because they tend to be older (ballpark around 28 or so when they started their consulting career) and for the most part had prior work experience.

Here’s a scenario we hear regularly from participants on our training programmes, and we think many people will identify: Your big or complex task keeps getting moved from one to-do list to the next without making progress on it.

One of my clients asked for my help gaining a sole-source recognition with a government agency which has asked if she’d bid on an RFP (request for proposal). RFPs are terrible devices, produced and evaluated by low-level people who then select from the respondents and forward (usually he least expensive) proposals to the actual buyers. The questions asked are ludicrous and based on an hourly-payment mentality.

When you see an employee struggling with a task you could do easily, it’s only natural to want to step in and help. But from the other side, this can feel more like micromanagement than support. And when leaders over-function by keeping too much work for themselves, they allow those around them to under-function. We all know how important it is to delegate — both to help employees grow and to create a more collaborative, empowered, productive team.

Many costs of doing business are valid in the commercial environment, but for Government contracts, they are expressly unallowable. If you advertise for your business, spend money on alcohol during your marketing efforts, or pay interest on debts, you will not be able to seek reimbursement under Government contracts to pay for those costs. Most companies properly separate those unallowable costs, but many do not.

Quiet forms of retaliation are incredibly common and can be contagious in the workplace. The organizations that accept this form of retaliation as a standard practice have difficulty hiring and retaining great people. Retaliation — in all its forms — not only harms current team members, but a culture that tolerates retaliation results in harm to the mission and the organization’s ability to deliver to its customers and stakeholders.

“Do you want to know what I think?” The best answer might be, “no.” Because this person is not very good at offering useful feedback. Because you didn’t create this product or service or performance to please this person. They’re not the customer. Because you’re not going to revise this any time soon. The movie is made, and specific feedback isn’t going to get the movie remade.
