Hi Lidia, You wrote: >Consulting should be a two-way street. Why should I have The simple answer is that if you fail to change your logic (I would say your perspective) then you perpetuate barriers to communication and understanding. If, however, you open up your mental "blinders" and try to see things from another's point of view you can create a broader set of mental models. I'm not suggesting you discard your own views, just that you be able to see where others are coming from. I think there's another simple answer here. Consulting is not a two-way street. Consultants are hired because the client wants something. I doubt there are many consulting engagements that involve the consultant getting anything out of it but money. Of course, a good consultant will learn new things, but that isn't the purpose of the engagement. An organization wants help and is willing to pay for it. >The word consult should be that two parties consult one That works for me with peers, but not in the sense of organizational consulting. So what do you think of walking a few miles in someone else's shoes without giving up your own? Is that a challenge (if so, welcome to the human race). Best wishes, Dave
