As a manager you might be considering engaging an external consultant / coach to assist you with a specific challenge. This book is a wry, humorous but practical guide on how to select a coach or a consultant, what to look out for, some of the more common failings seen, and how you can avoid the pitfalls in making sure that you appoint the right person for you and your organisation. Alternatively, you might be a coach, mentor or consultant, curious about the original content of this book and to see if you can recognise some of the characters or traits contained in it. Alastair has worked for over 30 years as an external 'expert' for over 250 different organisations. Along the way he has worked with many 'coaches' and 'consultants' - some with their own interesting personality and behavioural features that may not be what the client actually needs!
