Attitude in Consulting

Attitude in Consulting
The chat with Oleg Moskalensky is up at Actation Now! 
The page has a podcast link to listen and download.

Oleg's takeaways:
 
I guess the final takeaway from all of this for business owners is the following:

  1. Find the time to investigate people you're considering hiring as consultants
  2. Not only look at their credentials, experience and references, but also at their attitude, see how well they play with others and try to play with them to see how much you gel
  3. If both the savvy part and the attitude is acceptable - then, and only then, hire them
  4. Once they're hired - let them do their job.  Work with them, but don't micromanage.  After all - if you know everything and have all the answers - why bother hiring them?
  5. Don't get sidetracked by looking at other consultants - you'll only waste your precious time.  There will always be someone better, someone cheaper, someone .  As long as you're comfortable working with your chosen consultants and you're happy with their performance - stick with them.  If you aren't happy - by all means leave them and find someone you would be happy with.
