Together We Can

The role of communication in teamwork is discussed as is the importance of assessing each individual's mindset when putting a Team together to complete a project or deadline. Simple ideas are built on to create successful and workable strategies for any Team Leader to implement.

Consulting Code Blue
Management consulting skills (or the lack of them) make the difference between the success and failure of a consultant. Poor skills usually result in the consultant not being asked back, or worse, being dismissed. Such dismissal is the consulting equivalent of heart failure.
