Quote:
There's a lot of good ideas in this book (mainly in the first 50 pages), but also a lot of padding. Make one idea work for you and you've got the price of the book back in spades.

I liked the concise advice and brutal views ("If you are a pair of hands and not a brain, then you're not a consultant. You're probably a very inexpensive employee...[or] between jobs just claiming to be a consultant to save face..."). I didn't like the later chapters e.g. how to advise on Teams & Groups because they are too superficial to help provide advice and irrelevant to consulting as a practice. I also got bored with promotion of his other books and reference to himself as an expert.

Weiss advocates what works for him. It won't work for everyone and not all clients will like his style or approach; however, if you're a consultant and you get little out of this book then it says more about you than it does about Weiss.
