Haven't seen this one yet - management consultant. I have no desire to do something like that, but it always seemed to me to be a dream job, based on 30 years of experience in the corporate world. During that time, we've had some of the "best" in the business come in to tell us how to run the business, and here's what I have concluded the job is:
1) Schmooze the CEO and tell him how great he is, but how badly the company needs your help.
2) Convince the board that your "new" approach will save them millions or billions. Actually, the approach is either common sense, or just the same approach used 10 years ago.
3) Re-use the same program used at hundreds of other companies - but put a new company logo into the Powerpoint slides.
4) Rake in the dough.
My apologies to any management consultants for over-simplifying and obviously mis-representing many good ones.
