A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used By Peter BlockJossey-Bass, $55, 352 pages
Hard to believe, but it's been 25 years since Peter Block's Flawless Consulting was first published and more than a decade since the second edition. A lot's happened in the consulting profession (and to the consulting profession) since. This revised third edition updates the tried-and-true methodology of what many in the profession consider a must-read. This latest edition explores the latest thinking on consultation, including new insights about how to organize consulting around discovering the strengths, positive examples, and gifts of the client organization or community. Consulting is, after all, still about delivering to the client. It's just that today, it's more important than ever.
