The cult of consulting suggests that if you simply had better advice from someone who knew more than you, your problems could be solved.
Generally, the advice isn’t really the hard part. There’s endless good advice just a click away.
The art is in creating the conditions for people to choose to act on the advice. Good advice unheeded is a waste for everyone involved.
That’s why expensive consultants can stay in business, and why committing to a process before you’re sure of all the details makes it far more likely that you’ll succeed.
We might not need better advice. We might simply need to do the work of being able to work with the good advice we already have.
