I hate consultants
'I hate consultants' by Eric D. Brown - Information Technology, Leadership, The New CIO
When I heard those words spill out of my lunch companion’s mouth as soon as we sat down, I knew it would be a long lunch meeting.
Some background When I was an independent consultant I spent a lot of time in business development mode. Lots of time going to networking events and meeting new people. I enjoyed that (and should be doing it now even too)…but some of the people you meet while out and about can be very surprising.
Take “John” (name changed) as an example.

Cultural impacts on project management – Anglo-Saxons versus the Spanish.
| By Phil Thistlethwaite - The Spanish and the Anglo-Saxons are both different and similar - armadas, monarchy, football, empires, you name it. They also both 'do' project management.
I have worked extensively with European stakeholders over the past 12 years, and been fortunate enough to have managed large-scale change programmes on Asia-Pacific, European and global scales. |

Let’s talk Elephants & HR Transformations
...Dead moose, smelly fish, name it what you like but project teams put themselves at the risk of failure when people do not feel they can say what they need to. I am sure you think you are an approachable leader and your team can be honest with you but do you know what behaviour tells you whether this is true? Can you spot when your team is being honest with each other?
