Consulting for Real People

A practical book for any established or aspiring consultant, leader or manager involved in day to day change in any organisation, large or small.

If you are line manager who wants to adopt a collaborative and consultative management style of managing people, then client centred consulting is for you.

Many managers and leaders, from first line supervisor to MD, have already used the programme as an essential part of their professional development.

Our client-centred consulting programme was originally developed for people who facilitate change without formal authority. Very soon, however, it became apparent that managers and leaders, at the cutting edge of organisational change, need exactly the same skills as the client centred consultant.

The most effective leaders recognise the need to manage people in a way that increases their enthusiasm, commitment and motivation. This means:

• Seeing themselves as agents of change
• No longer relying on formal position power
• Being concerned with releasing energy and developing people
• Taking a facilitating role, supporting self-managed teams
• Becoming an effective coach
• Working non-prescriptively, helping people to solve problems and make decisions for themselves
• Encouraging a culture of feedback and open communication
• Working hard to reduce dependency amongst their people

Some organisations have sent line managers on our open Client-Centred Consulting Programme. Others have used the principles of client-centredness as the basis of their internal leadership training and development.
