I call myself a management consultant/trainer/motivator/writer. Many people are confused about what all these mean. Here is how i will explain it in the crudest ways.
There are organizations. I am what a doctor is to a patient, an engineer to a building, an artist to a canvass, boxer to a ring, to an organization.
These organizations have 2 things they need me for:
1. problems that don’t fall under any known expertize such as accounting, IT, legal, HR, technical.
2. visions that can’t be fulfilled through the existing hiearchy
In short I am alike a general physician or GP of organization problems, a commander-in-chief of orders, a bridge between levels of understanding.
The relationship between the organization and the staffs can be compared to husband and wife.
Sending staffs to a training is like going on a holiday or having a fling.
Taking management consulting is like having a mistress or long term affair.
Yes the concepts i outlined might not be perfect but this is how i see my work for now.
