Synopsis
A how-to guide for consultants
Here is the accumulation of 35 years of work of two men who have helped shape the training and development field. Teachers, trainers, consultants, and continual learners themselves, the authors share their repertoire of concepts, strategies, and techniques.
The function of consultants is part of the role and function of all those who lead, direct, teach, or interact as friAnds and peers with others.
