Richard Newton

The reviews reflect his eclectic tastes in reading - good literature, a lot of philosophy, for professional reasons business books, history, travel and mountaineering books - and books about central Asia which is a bit of a personal obsession. But depending on his mood, whim, or the direction of the wind he reads a wide variety that does not fall into any of these categories.

Very Useful for New and Experienced Management Consultants
As someone who has worked in consulting for quite a few years I thought this would be useful for reminding myself of the basics and seeing what else I could glean.
I wasn’t disappointed. The book discussed management consulting processes in detail, discusses some of the ethical and business dilemmas that can be faced as a consultant, and provides great advice. The bonus is that the author provides some very useful checklists and templates for consultants starting out.
By the way, it’s Ulaanbaatar, not Ulan Bator! Was very surprised to see a reference to the city where I currently live and work as a Management Consultant!
Certainly a thoroughly recommended read.
