Cracking a case can be a daunting task. For a career in consulting, you should strive to be ambitious, passionate and determined. The case study interview is a common way for consulting firms to screen candidates because it allows them to evaluate multiple inter-related consulting skills including data analysis, analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, active listening skills, communication skills, real-time judgement and decision making, and understanding of core business concepts.

Sometimes referrals show up, and they’re great! But other times, referrals show up that are far from great. (They.). What gives? What makes some referrals shine and some referrals stink? And, where’s the button to get more or higher quality referrals? You should be able to turn the dial up a few quality spots, right? (e.g., from a 3/10 referral quality to a 5/10 quality).

Some managers wanted to prevent Bad Things from happening in the organization, so they added policies or procedures. Now, these same managers want business agility. However, the policies and procedures increase friction and make it harder to get the Right Things done. It's time to start removing some of those policies and procedures. The more we remove, the more agility or improvement we might see.

During the pandemic, higher education institutions had to adapt quickly, transitioning many traditional in-person courses into online classes. Initially, approaches were, admittedly, a bit haphazard, largely because there wasn’t time to truly refine the new digital offering. However, as time passed, the system became more streamlined and effective, allowing learning to continue regardless of where students were attending courses.

When you’re that good you expect to be treated with deference. You get used to people taking your word as the expert. You won’t admit it but it feels good to have that ego polishing occur. That expectation may be misinformed. I work with elite consultants who, if they don’t have a strong sense of humility, can find themselves angry at potential clients who don’t display sufficient acceptance of the thought leader’s elevated position as he or she observes it in the actions of satisfied clients.

Why taking a vacation and unplugging while you are on vacation is so important. I recently had the honor of discussing the topic of burnout on Amy Irvine’s Wine and Dime podcast. In our discussion, Amy shared that she had not taken a vacation in over two years. Amy is not alone – in fact, she is among the majority. A 2018 study found that 55% of Americans reported not using all of their paid vacation time – a 9% increase over 2017.

Marketing for self-employed professionals is quite different from the marketing big companies do. They do big media campaigns. They get a lot of visibility.

Looking at examples of the thought leadership output of many professional services firms, it’s clear that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a long shadow. This is hardly surprising given the upheaval it has caused, and the way that it forced firms to pivot quickly away from their well-thought through 2020 content calendar to an approach that effectively focused on providing emergency assistance to clients in the form of “action leadership.

So, how do you make it easy for people to send you referrals? In my worldview, you start by thinking about two primary elements: First, you need to get really, exceptionally specific on who you want your referral sources to refer to you. Second, you need to build the resources, assets, etc., that make it easy for people to send you referrals. Getting Specific On Referrals.

I (Tim) recall hearing about a leader who, when asked what his management style was, stated without apology, “Fear.” He purposefully and aggressively worked to instill fear in his people, believing that if they were afraid of him they would work better. You are likely repulsed by the thought of such a “leadership style,” and rightly so. First and foremost, it is cruel since it causes excessive stress and anxiety in the people on the receiving end of such conduct.

When’s the last time you asked for a referral to a service provider (like a lawyer, coach, or developer) ? How did it turn out? If it didn’t go so great (e.g., you couldn’t find a referral, the service providers you were referred to didn’t quite hit the mark) , have you ever asked yourself why it turned out that way? Or what could you change about how you ask for referrals to service providers so that you get connected with great people next time?

There are countless ways to make a point. You can clearly demonstrate that you are angry, smart, concerned, stronger, faster or more prepared than the person you’re engaging with. But making a point isn’t the same thing as making a difference. To make a difference, we need the practical empathy to realize that the other person doesn’t know what you know, doesn’t believe what you believe and might not want what you want.

The allegations and prosecution shouldn’t surprise anybody because: There’s politics involved. There seems to be a family history of this. Most business owners do the same thing but do it to reduce the owner’s taxes not the taxes of an employee.
