How to grow into an excellent consultant? Seek an answer
Consultant, doctor of entrepreneur, with great responsibility; At the same time, it belongs to the category of teachers and should be a model for others. These requirements set strict requirements and high standards for excellent consultants. Therefore, I always think that in consulting companies, teachers are the highest title, not how proud the general manager of consulting companies is. But after we have defined the requirements of an excellent consultant, let's talk about how to grow into an excellent consultant. The first is professionalism and dedication. Without professionalism, there is no way to solve the problems of enterprises and the confusion of entrepreneurs. Profession is a necessary prerequisite, but at the same time, we should be dedicated. No matter how good the profession is, there is no professionalism as the basis. A cursory look at the autumn wind-swept consultation can't make the consultation plan take root in the enterprise. Without professionalism as the foundation, it is impossible to influence and enhance the team and culture of the consulted enterprise. Because the final result of consultation is the precipitation of culture and the growth of the team. Secondly, be modest and eager to learn. Modesty is very rare for a consultant. In the warm applause of everyone, many consultants can't find their own position. After a long time, they did not bend over to listen to the current situation of the enterprise seriously and did not mobilize the wisdom of the enterprise management, which led to the failure of the consulting scheme. No matter how good the scheme is, it is difficult to get the support and heartfelt support of the enterprise management. Learning is the only way for counselors to grow up. Because the market, industry, enterprise nature and information technology are unpredictable, we must constantly learn and digest the latest knowledge and improve our professional knowledge system. For example, consultants in planning management are not familiar with ERP and procurement management, so it is impossible to reform enterprises that have already gone to ERP. For example, consultants in human resources cannot systematically and professionally understand the new labor law, and it is difficult to help enterprises avoid risks in the system. The third is communication and sharing. Communication is the most basic requirement for consultants. To learn to communicate, good communication skills will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. In the process of communication, we should emphasize empathy, put ourselves in his shoes, smile and praise in the process of communication, and recognize each other's basic methods. Whenever you encounter different opinions, don't be timid and don't get angry for no reason. Consultants help clients grow, share their resources in time, and help clients from the heart. In fact, consultants should learn to help others grow up and share the joy of success behind their backs. When you share your knowledge, you will find that others will always remember your help in their progress, and your personal brand will gradually grow. The fourth is thinking and height. Think clearly. Today, I may just consult a module, but I need to know clearly where the next module should be made and how to connect the modules. It's like a bricklayer building a house. Although he is laying the foundation, I must know in my heart what the future house will look like. Height is the key point of whether a consultant is valuable. Some consultants communicate with business owners for half an hour, but business owners don't want to communicate because they are not on the same platform, let alone on the same channel. For example, if the boss is CCTV and you are Shunde TV, they can't resonate. The boss asked for improving the efficiency of the equipment. Because there are too many problems in production arrangement and planned production scheduling, you are still doing 5S on the spot. Maybe the boss will think that you have not analyzed the problem from a height and system. The fifth is principle and compromise. Consulting itself is to ask others to change their past concepts and ideas, which is a painful thing for the management of the entrusting enterprise. In the process of actual project promotion, we must adhere to the key points that affect the goal realization and project implementation, and adjust the order and steps for the non-key points of project implementation after communication. And always pay attention to the needs of customers and the satisfaction of the boss. For example, the order volume of an enterprise suddenly increases, and the boss wants you to ensure delivery this month first, and the progress of other projects slows down slightly. At this time, it is necessary to communicate with customers in time and adjust the project plan.
