Summary

This book takes up where Flawless Consulting, 2nd Edition left off. The Fieldbook is packed with sample scenarios, case studies, and client-consultant dialogues to show readers what "Flawless Consulting" is really all about. And the Fieldbook takes the practical approach of Flawless one step closer, including more hands-on tools, action plans, and implementation checklists. Block's down-to-earth lessons apply equally well to external consultants, internal staff, managers, executives, and communicators of all kinds.
