Publisher's Summary

Management consulting is seen as a glamorous profession. Behind the mystique are the consultants who put in extraordinary effort, synthesize great problem-solving skills, and display fine personal attributes that enable them to capture the attention and respect of their clients. This book opens up to that world through the story of Samanta Thomas, a character based on countless excellent consultants, through whom we get inside the very mind of a consultant and their journey. As you traverse the journey of a management graduate growing to a partner in a top consulting firm, The Mind of a Consultant helps you understand various key skills that makes a successful consultant. The real-life experiences of consulting leaders bridge the gap between concepts and practical insights. 

Problem-solving, management models, financial acumen, client management, leadership, networking, and work-life integration - this book hands you the tools to professional career success in a hands-on and easy-to-understand manner.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Crisp and Entertaining

This book reminds me so much of Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt. As an Analytics consultant I could relate to most part of the story. I purchased a hard copy of the book too and the whole book itself is a summary or bullet points highlighted on the approach to be in taken by a consultant at various stages. Author has kept the story short and relevant to management consulting. Enjoyable read !!!
The audio performance could have been better if the perfomer stopped stressing on every other word.

Glorification of Management Consulting

If you’re looking for a feel-good story to support your dreams of becoming Partner of a large consulting firm, then this may be worth your time. I find that this book focuses on those things that often put management consultants in a bad light - impressing clients, focusing on money, staying in 5-star hotels and flying business class to name a few. There are some aspects covered that are important to succeeding in consulting, but it often ends up sounding like BS bingo!

A must for those who want to excel as a consultant

As a consultant for a global ed tech company, I decided to listen to this book for my personal and professional development, expecting a good, motivational story with a few tips here and there in its deceptively short audio time. I have now listened to it twice and decided to purchase a paper copy to use as a career resource. I originally anticipated jotting down a few key point notes from each chapter; however, to my delight, I found that each chapter is incredibly dense with useful advice, methodology, and references, succintly and purposefully included. As I listened, the story held my attention, and I couldn't take notes quickly enough (therefore, the second listen, to catch what I could have missed). I felt like I was learning, like Samantha in the story, from a skilled and proven mentor who was mesmerizing and regaling me with a fable filled with real life lessons. The pdf, 50+ pages, is a valuable resource which brings the story to life even more, with organized thought points and examples of items a consultant will likely work with. I can't wait to share this book with my colleagues and to follow up with some of the books referenced by the author.
