In yesterday’s letter, I shared that, ‘hey, you shouldn’t throw the initial price out for a project until you’ve asked questions and thought the project through.’. I mentioned that there were occasional exceptions to this approach. Y’all wrote in to ask about those exceptions. So, let’s talk about those exceptions. When can (or, should ), you throw out the first price on a call?

Although a majority of people start their consulting career straight from undergraduate or graduate studies as their first full time profession, there is a substantial number of consultants who are experienced hires, coming from a prior career.

The greatest servant leaders of all-time illuminate famed management guru Peter Drucker’s disheartening quote. He wrote over twenty years ago, “We have a dearth of leadership.” This is even more true today. In contrast, it is not so for servant leaders. Consequently, we need more of them. Recently, in Davos, Switzerland the global business and political elite gathered for the World Economic Forum.

Do you or your managers want people to be happy at work? That's a laudable goal. And, in my experience, unrealistic. That's because happiness is an outcome of a person's current life context. Instead of happiness, let's consider satisfaction. When we consider satisfaction, we might discover ways to create a great work environment. That satisfaction might offer more opportunities for happiness.

Arrogance is when you believe and act as if who you are and what you have to say are better than who others are and what they have to say. Confidence is when you believe and act as if who you are and what you have to say are valid… and you acknowledge that who others are and what they have to say has validity too. Arrogance is a dependent variable that depends on the assigned inferiority of others.

As someone currently in management consulting who has previously done tech sales for a major software company, I was amused by Martin Keller’s article championing tech sales (sometimes known as consultative or customer success driven sales) over management consulting. Both are great career options and anyone starting their career or doing a career pivot would be well-served either way.

When our most wonderful mutt, Noodles, passed away two years ago at age 17, I told Laurel, in no uncertain terms, that there would be NO more dogs for us! I didn’t want the daily responsibility and restrictions of being able to just go away for the day or week that came with owning a 4-legged pal. That being said, my words went unheeded and now I’d like to introduce our new puppy, Juno, who arrived two weeks ago.

In my career, I have heard HR professionals say many times, “How could someone so smart, be so stupid when it comes to people?” What is this all about? Most people believe that if someone has a high IQ and does really well in school (i.e., they are smart), they’ll be a good leader and have a highly successful career. Although being smart and having a high IQ should help an individual’s leadership and career success, it’s certainly not a guarantee.

That’s all language is. “Banana” is not a fruit. It’s a word that we use in English to identify a fruit. And code words work beautifully as long as the person you’re seeking to communicate with understands the word the way you think they do. Often, when people with goodwill and shared values end up disagreeing, it’s because they didn’t understand the code words that were being used.

Attitude follows action far more often than action follows attitude. We change our mood as a result of how we act. If you want to feel a certain way, begin by acting as if you do. On the other hand, if you truly want to accomplish something, waiting for the mood to strike is ineffective.

According to the book, Loneliness Is an Emergency, lonely people are more likely to have heart attacks and cancer and alcoholism, and even common colds (reported in the New York Times ). I don’t think “loneliness” is necessarily solitude. I think it means being disaffected and disconnected with people around you. That’s why communities are so important, whether personal or professional, real or virtual.
