The return on investment was invaluable within the first chapter. Block confirmed that I was performing out of role and taught me to consult with peers and not take on their work.
Within the first chapter, I have redefined workplace project roles and tasks, moved to 1: Block prepared me for any resistance which led to better meeting preparation I am now acting as a consultant opposed to "manager". My supervisor noticed the change and tendered a compliment on my meeting management within a week of my beginning this book.
Block does not talk about the technical aspects of consulting, but focuses on the way of being with the client and ourselves. Anyone who must communicate in a professional context--and who doesn't?

This book made the difference! I should have read this book two years ago for my current role and 15 years ago as I started in my career. You cannot afford to not read this book. Personally and professionally Block will show you that you may be acting out of role, futilely exerting energy and setting yourself up for failure. I am now a Peter Block fan.

I ran upon this book when I was hired into a company to be an internal consultant in My manager gave me Peter's book and asked me to read it before joining the company - I am so very glad he did. In some of my courses I give the students an assignment to read Peter's book.
I divide them into teams and have them read and then teach one another the process of consulting outlined in Peter's book. The goal is to teach them how effective consultants interact with clients because one day they will either hire consultants, work with them, or become a consultant. Toward the end of the course Peter meets with them and exposes them to the art of listening and being authentic.
Peter's assertion that being authentic with the client always resonates with them from multiple perspectives. It is always very interesting to hear the comments of the students after they've read the book, taught one another the method of consulting, and then utilize the methods with a real client. I highly recommend this book to executives and those on the path of becoming an one. Having read over a hundred books in the fields of organization development, change management, and consulting, this book has had a tremendous influence on my practice.
It is probably one of my top 10 of all time. Block does not talk about the technical aspects of consulting, but focuses on the way of being with the client and ourselves. This is as it should be. After all, we got selected for the job for possessing technical skills. That being said, Block advocates a partnership with the client for a joint discovery of the "real problem" and the "solution". Also included are illustrative examples and exercises to help you cement the guides offered.
