Customer Review:
It reads well and we chose it for the required reading for a class for new consultants that join our company because it teaches everything we want them to strive to be. The basic message seems to be listening skills, so we also paired our training with some listening lessons and exercises. I would... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Pfeiffer
Price: $34.65
Customer Review:
I have to admit that I really liked Peter Block's "Flawless Consulting". This book was originally written in 1978, and then revised in 1998. I expected the book to be dated and irrelevant, but it wasn't. The concepts that Block wrote about many years ago are still applicable today.

Over the past few months I have been developing the idea of what I call the "new entrepreneur".

I'm a grad student with IT background and want to become a management consultant or a CEO.

from McGraw-Hill
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
I started to read the book twice. First when I bought it and then when I went on vacation. For some reason the writing style is complicated to follow and I didn't find it interesting. About a year later I found it in my attic and was about to throw it away. But I thought I'd give it one more try.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
