Are you seen merely as the course developer? Are you a strategy consultant? <BR/><BR/>And also the length and depth of your relationship with the client.

I struggled a lot with getting my organizations to see that we needed to do things differently. <BR/><BR/>Your comment on just "answering the mail" for some of your clients opens up a larger problem I have in my work, which is at what point do you stop doing things the way the client wants you to? Where's the line between "the customer's always right" and "you're about to screw this up and I don't want to be part of it"? There have been times when I've actually refused to do work for people because I felt that they had jumped too quickly to solutions that weren't going to work. Later, when it was time to pay the bills, I wondered if I'd made the right decision because I'm sure that my actions didn't change their minds--they just went and found someone who would play ball with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
