Pragmatic Consulting from the Client's Perspective
In my career I have been fortunate enough to work for two of the best companies on earth: Accenture and Microsoft. In my eleven years at Accenture I got a tremendous education on systems development, project management, strategic planning, and client service. In my nine years at Microsoft, I took most of what I learned at Accenture and learned how to apply it in a very practical and effective manner. Both experiences were key to my growth as a p most cases, working with a multitude of businesses, I have found that this generally stems back to whether the business owner has decided beforehand exactly the type of person they are looking for. So at this point you're thinking ‘well that's obvious, Mike!' - however many of us simply don't ask ourselves the right questions to ensure that we get team members with all of the attributes required for the particular position within our businesses. I generally have hired people in the past by looking for one main trait and that's the right ‘attitude' that will fit the position applied for.

Team Tips:

•1) Keep Notebooks. Have each team member keep a notebook focused on new ideas. Talk to your team about any new ideas you may have. Have them write down every related thought, idea, ‘aha', article and conversation. Then get together during a team meeting and share your notes. You'll be amazed at your team member's abilities to create something you didn't have before.

•2) Lead by Example. As a leader in your business, take it upon yourself to model ‘leadership' behaviour for your team. People react much more to what you do than to what you say, so make sure you are a great role model.

•3) Encourage Diversity of Opinion. Cultivate a healthy range of ideas within your business. Consider that everyone has ‘unlimited' potential. Actively look for it, facilitate it, recognise those who give it - and you'll get it.

•4) Identify Your Own Role Models. Who do you consider are the top revolutionary and inventive business minds both now and also from the past? Who do you most admire in business? When the chips are down take a step back and think to yourself ‘what would this person do in my position?' This is a very powerful tool in itself and can be highly inspirational to those who work with you.

Identify some ‘Anti-role' models for building team loyalty. Learn from other people's mistakes if you can. Note
