One of the most challenging aspects of using consultants is to keep up the momentum. Change has a tendency to want to shift back to the way things were if not managed properly.  Many times consultants deliver fantastic results while engaged with their clients, but focus and direction are lost when the contract ends. They fail to train and enable their clients to maintain the results long-term.  The best consultant is one who works themselves out of a job allowing their clients to take the reigns and succeed on their own.

Don’t be that guy… you know, the one trying too hard to close deals. Unchecked, this behavior will very often lead to unmanaged expectations, missteps, errors, and damage to your reputation. What’s worse you can even lose that prospect for life.

Driving results is the key to any project, program, or initiative.  Many times companies don’t want to wait for organic growth to mature before producing positive performance.  This corporate anxiety can result in missed steps and a fragile foundation not able to withstand the pressure of growth and change.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have both quick results while building a firm foundation for sustainable growth?
