About this listen
When the landmark best-seller Flawless Consulting was first published more than three decades ago, it was quickly adopted as the "consultant's bible." With his legendary warmth and passion, Peter Block explained how to deal effectively with clients, peers, and others. The book continues to speak to people in a support function inside organizations as well as to external consultants.
This thoroughly revised and updated third edition of Peter Block's groundbreaking book explores the latest thinking on consultation. It includes new insights about how we can organize our consulting around discovering the strengths, positive examples, and gifts of the client organization or community. The book remains a practical and specific guide for anyone who needs to develop a capacity for deeper relatedness and partnership - which means it is for all who wish to make a real difference in the world.
This new edition covers the consulting challenges that have arisen from the way we routinely communicate electronically and live in the virtual world. Block suggests ways to overcome the distancing and isolating effects inherent in electronic connects. The book also includes practical guidance on how to ask better questions, gives suggestions for dealing with difficult clients, and contains expanded guidelines on more engaging forms of implementation.
Flawless Consulting includes two new examples, taken from health care and educational reform efforts, to show how consulting skills can be useful (and often transformative) in a broader context. These illustrative examples point the way for achieving changes for leadership in business, government, religion, human services, and more.Like the first two editions, Flawless Consulting affirms the notion that authentic behavior and personal relationships are the key to technical and business success. By demonstrating their ability to be truly authentic at each step in the process, consultants can aim toward creating workplaces that are more collaborative and ultimately more successful.

Worthwhile
The good has a lot of good insight to tricky consulting situations and suggests ways to approach those. I think experienced consultants will appreciate the complexity of those situations. Obviously the author is a very seasoned consultant. However the book can use more examples to fully illustrate the recommended approaches. Another drawback is the voice of the narrator. All in all I would still recommend. hashtag #Audible1

Solid Information, Awful Narrator.
This is one of the most referenced consulting books, lots of good information. You would best off getting it hard copy if you can't deal with the terrible narration. I found listening to it at x1.25 made it a bit better. But it is not even a bit good. I checked on audible and Erik Synnestvedt has 150 narrated books. This guy must have an unreal agent.

Good information, hard to listen to
The narrator has a strange way of emphasizing words in a sentence and uses a cadence that sometimes makes it difficult to listen to what the author is trying to say. Overall this is a great book though, once you train yourself to ignore the narration there is good information here.

Great book. terrible voice
This is a book that several people have recommended that i read/listen. I downloaded this last night but the voice is not good and i keep losing attention on the book. There is a shorter version of this audiobook and i am going to try that one.

Narrator is so bad
I can’t describe how annoying the narrator speaks. He emphasizes the wrong parts of sentences, speaks with weird highs and lows, and is generally speaking as if he doesn’t know how to enunciate properly at all. It’s so distracting and disappointing
