They bring global best-practice knowledge and experience and have been effective in helping clients succeed in this way. They are not always successful though and this may be due to a number of different reasons. Clients are often incapable or not ready for change. They may also play a 'supplementing' role in change. The role profile may already present in the business but a consultant is needed to strengthen this and clearly direct change. Sometimes the 'tough' work of staff reductions are best left to outsiders in order to preserve the positive image of internal leadership. CEOs can then focus on coaching staff and communicating their vision of a better place that the company could reach. Are euphemisms rife in leadership and the consulting world? Without a doubt. But I happily accept this over the alternative which is a dejected, demotivate and depressed workforce and community. Better to foster a unified, motivated and positive culture that strives for that new and better place... regardless of the risk of failure.
