Finally, the real story about corporate America with its increased
reliance on consultants. Since the 1990s, consulting solutions have
become the de facto standard for solving business problems and
providing cover for corporate decision makers. This is not the
typical CEO whitewash, or business management primer. Steve Romaine
offers a view never before shared with management or stockholders
as he takes a hired gun's journey beginning at the outside looking
in, and ending at the pinnacle of a corporation's power.
As both a manager and a consultant who has played a critical
role in some of the largest corporations, Romaine provides
real-world insights that will increase the effectiveness of
corporate leaders in hiring and managing outside experts, and will
show them ways to maintain the loyalty of their employees while
providing incentives for better consultant collaboration with
employees. Most important, he highlights a growing problem and
helps managers avoid it in the future: "Manage them, or they will
manage you."
Romaine provides many insights into the complex
manager-consultant relationship based on his experience of working
for IBM, his later role as a self-employed consultant, and finally
his responsibilities as senior vice president for NationsBank, as
it positioned itself for the takeover of Bank of America, becoming
one of the largest and most powerful financial institutions in the
United States. This book is a must for anyone involved with the
consulting business.
