I humbly object
Sorry Tim and Chip I dispute this quote:

"There are a variety of reasons why people love to hate consultants. Many people, especially those in leadership roles do not look favorably upon others who exhibit more initiative and drive than they do. And in my experience, even a little initiative puts you ahead of 90 percent of the current workforce."

If this was the case the USA would not be even remotely in the position that it is today. Even with all of our faults and miss-steps, I dare say that the US is still the greatest experiment in free trade and business that ever existed. Being a consultant myself the attitude of the customer is totally dependent on how I approach them. That is just "part of doing business."

Sorry for the rant, but this statement truly did not feel right.
