Beware the Chicken Little Consultant
Paying for expertise is an inherent part of business. How else
can we make the best decisions in specialty areas without
informed help?
Unfortunately there can be conflicts of interest on the part of
your expert which can be subtle yet extremely powerful.
Ask yourself one question: Would your consultant benefit by
prolonging your issue or project? If the answer is yes, you may
be paying more than you should.
Paid experts have the power to prolong an issue or project
thereby stuffing their pockets with more of your money, simply
through their presentation style. If you have a Chicken Little
consultant, fire him or her immediately.
For those to whom Chicken Little is unknown or a fog in the
distance, here's the scoop: Chicken Little is a storybook
character who would periodically run about crying, "The sky is
falling, the sky is falling!"
The townspeople were initially frightened and would run for
cover similar to how our government expects us to, when one of
their multi-colored
alerts are issued.
After a while they realized that Chicken Little was really a
turkey - the disparaging term type - and came to ignore him.
Miraculously, after they completely tuned him out, he actually
had something important to say. Needless to say, they ignored
him and got creamed.
Now we come to your paid expert. Does he try to prey on your
insecurities? Does he disparage everyone but himself? Does he
present his ideas with emotionalism rather than researched fact?
If the answers are yes, save yourself a bundle and get a new
consultant.
Better yet, take some time to study the subject yourself. The
internet and a good search engine is the best consultant you
will ever have. If some sites utilize scare tactics, there will
be plenty of others to balance the message.
