What to Ask When You Don't Know What to Say
by Sam Deep, Lyle Sussman. You'll never be at a
loss for words if you follow this book's principle: Stop looking for what to say,
and start looking for what to ask. Goes beyond the consulting
arena to touch on most of life's situations. |
Secrets of Consulting
by Gerald M Weinberg.
Subtitled "A Guide to Giving and Getting Advice Successfully". I try to re-read
this book about once a year, as a reminder to myself about what I might be missing. If
you're thinking of going into the consulting business, the chapter "Putting A Price
On Your Head" will be useful.
