Features: The strength of this book lies in its specificity and precision. It is not a theoretical textbook but a practical guide for practitioners. The book describes how to interact with clients.

A note on the meaning of consulting activities today: Nowadays, more and more empowered managers define their roles as consultative or facilitative. Managers are shifting from command-and-control roles to more advisory roles. In the process of transitioning to flatter, more flexible organizational structures, controlling bosses have become slow and costly. The core of consulting activities is to implement group contracts and management in a self-managed world. When managers apply the methods explained in this book to address challenges in practical management, they only need to make minor adjustments to some expressions.
