What do you do if your consultants clash with senior management?

Promptly address conflicts between consultants and senior management through open dialogue. Foster understanding by encouraging both parties to share perspectives and concerns. Guide consultants to align with company goals while respecting their expertise. Prioritize resolving conflicts for harmonious collaboration and effective project outcomes.

This happens all the time. Why? Consulting is a knowledge industry and those on top are judged by those below same as in hunter gatherer society leader of a tribe has to be a top hunter. Same in consulting if you are not “brining home bacon” what’s point of you sitting in that chair? New leaders always emerged from below and tribe again elects better hunter. If you are top hunter of your tribe and if you see you have above arrogant-incompetent dude / boss-girl (or alike) who’s stealing any success as own and complains about “bad market conditions” when he / she lost deal (usually his / her own arrogance and ignorance of facts). Again you can let your tribe down (not bring home bacon) for sometime, then incompetent is replace with competent.
