Reviews
Author, speaker and management consultant Lencioni ( The Three Signs of a Miserable Job ) preaches a business model that may seem antithetical to many, which he calls "getting naked": being unafraid to show vulnerability, admit ignorance, and ask the dumb questions when dealing with clients. Lencioni's central argument is that by focusing on sales, rather than communication, consultants miss the key part of their job-consulting-and therefore lose out on valuable long-term client relationships. Presented mostly as a parable about a management consultant trying to reconcile two firms in a merger, Lencioni's latest is entertaining as well as informative, with a message that sticks (heavy-handed though it may be). Straightforward and widely applicable, Lencioni's advice should prove useful not only for business consultants, but anyone trying to build long-term client relationships. (Feb.) ( PublishersWeekly.com , February 22, 2010), 'If you're looking for an outline of a fascinating culture that modern leaders should aspire to… Patrick Lencioni writes with authority and makes some very excellent points. ' (Leadership-expert.co.uk, August, 2010).
