It seems as though you are a client and not a consultant, which gives us a little bit of charity when trying to understand why you appear to be utterly clueless

It seems as though you are a client and not a consultant, which gives us a little bit of charity when trying to understand why you appear to be utterly clueless about how to be a great consultant.
Answer: you're not a sociopathic consultant, just a client who sees the hired help as a commodity chattel. That's you're perogative, but if you woke up today willing to be humbled, what you haven't realized is that by definition, you're working with below-average consultants who only care that you pay them.
The optimism is that an entirely wonderful future is possible if you accept that you just might be doing it all wrong.
- maxxxxx 7y agoThis discussion is getting way out of hand and I really don't like your tone (“humbled” “sociopath” “clueless”) but do you really disagree that as consultant you should be doing what you are hired to do first? If you have been hired to give business advice do that. If you have been hired to do coding do that. Why would anyone listen to you if you haven’t demonstrated some ability and also have learned something about the business that has hired you?

On a serious note it took me a long time to understand that some clients do only want you to execute and do not want you to provide a more holistic professional assessment at every stage.
