Summary
Have you ever noticed that the harder you try to win the business, the less trusted you feel? What if the real power move in consulting isn't persuasion, but indifference? Well, Peter Block has spent more than forty years redefining what it means to be a consultant. He's the author of Flawless Consulting . He's shaped generations of advisors who want to move beyond being vendors and become true partners. What makes Peter different is this: he never built his firm around scale. He built it around contribution, around trust, around asking clients one uncomfortable question: "What's your contribution to the very thing you're trying to change?"
