Assignment 2: Characteristics of a Great Consultant
You are taking this course because you expect to be an internal or external consultant. This assignment will help by demonstrating how the best consultants perform and by offering you a chance to explore your strengths and challenges in consulting.
Respond to the following:
- What three characteristics do you think distinguish an outstanding consultant from a less effective one? Describe these briefly. Reflect on and describe how strong you are and how you can increase your abilities in these areas.
- What would personally challenge you as a consultant?
- What would you need to do to deal with those challenges?
Write a 150- to 300-word response to each of these questions.
By Saturday, July 18, 2015, post your responses to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, July 22, 2015, review and comment on at least two classmates’ responses. Evaluate the parameters used to determine the strength of each characteristic and suggest alternative actions to deal with challenges.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
