Key Practices for a Successful Consultancy
I am working with a small business to create a vision and framework for a leadership transition that maximizes the potential for the business to succeed and thrive on a sustainable, long-term basis. As their consultant, I embrace these key concepts:
1. Build Trust. Be seen as fair, respectful, and dependable, including honoring sensitive information.
2. Deep Listening. Ask open-ended questions and engage in conversations that bring a high level of understanding.
3. Encourage Meaningful Conversations. Actively engage owners and staff to foster open and constructive discussion.
4. Build Consensus. Maximize the potential for the highest possible level of agreement and shared understanding.
