Description
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.

Narrator's voice drives me NUTS
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
As THE book on consulting, I'd totally recommend the book. This audible recording, however, I would not recommend.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Erik Synnestvedt?
ANYBODY!!! This guy's voice drives me NUTS
Could you see Flawless Consulting being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
N/A
Any additional comments?
I wish I could write a better review of the content, but seriously, it takes ALL my focus to listen to what's being said and not the voice that's saying it. I barely register the content because I'm SO distracted by the voice. I REALLY wish they'd re-record this with a different narrator. I'd buy it again if there was a new recording with a narrator with a normal voice. (I also wish they could help me notice when other books are narrated by this person because I DO NOT want to buy them!!)

TERRIBLE NARRATION - But great info so far!
Where does Flawless Consulting rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I am only a few chapters into this book and am really sinking my teeth in. I am responsible for selling to and managing large accounts across North America for an advisory firm, and this book has given me a new spin on selling, and coordinating resources for engagements.
I will post a full review once done..
The HORRIBLE part... The Narration. Honestly, I am able to listen to almost all narrators here on audible. Boring, dry, doesn't matter... But this narrator over enunciates the most pointless words at the end of every sentence. If possible, I would love to see Audible do a re-record for this book.

Like Nails Down A Chalkboard
What disappointed you about Flawless Consulting?
I'm starting a consulting role in 3 weeks and an time poor so I thought that Audible might be my silver bullet to allow me to digest this book while I'm working. I am literally 20 mins in and can't bare it any more. The narrators pausing and groaning at the end of almost every sentence makes my skin crawl.Really disappointing as I know that this is a seminal book but I think I'm going to have to read the hard copy.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Flawless Consulting?
I will try and forget
Would you be willing to try another one of Erik Synnestvedt’s performances?
Never
What character would you cut from Flawless Consulting?

Good book, poor narration.
Would you try another book from Peter Block and/or Erik Synnestvedt?
Yes - this book has some very good content, but I got so frustrated that I had to go buy the Kindle version and listen to the text to speech voice rather than trying to listen to the narrator on Audible. I listened to the demo, but didn't realize how aggravating the pauses would become.
Who was your favorite character and why?
n/a
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator continously whined and paused at the end of every sentence so you couldn't get a flow from the message.
Was Flawless Consulting worth the listening time?
No.

Worst. Narrator. Ever. He'll haunt my nightmares.
Whose nephew got the job to narrate this?? OMG. Terrible. SO tone deaf. I've heard vacuum cleaners with more warmth and expressiveness. Eric Synnestvedt, I'm talking to you. Dude, please don't narrate anything more, ok? It's not your "thing". Go back to working the mobile phone store or wherever you came from. Jesus. Your voice ends on the same pitch after every sentence. Terrible. Horrible. I'd tell you to take some lessons, but I'm afraid that would give you hope.
Mr. Publisher, I'm going to return this book. What an insult to this "flawless" guy. You have to question his judgement. Does he have gambling debts or something? Never again....

Narration ruins the book
Where does Flawless Consulting rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
low because of narration...
What was one of the most memorable moments of Flawless Consulting?
The moments when I could actually pay attention to the content and not the annoying inflection of the narrator
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
not narrated this book....he puts a speedy emphasis on the last syllable of almost every other word and then sort of lets words trail off in a mumbling kind of way...and its intentional...so very aggravating.
Any additional comments?
redo.

Awful awful narrator
What disappointed you about Flawless Consulting?
That narrator is absolutely unbearable. He ends every sentence with this bizzare inflection that is unbelievably irritating.
How could the performance have been better?
Fire the narrator!
Any additional comments?

Erik Synnestvedt Is Annoying
He up speaks at the end of every sentence. I couldn't get past chapter 2 it's painful to listen to him. Don't get anything narrated by Erik Synnestvedt.

WORST. NARRATION. EVER.
Would you try another book from Peter Block and/or Erik Synnestvedt?
I would absolutely read any of Peter Block's other books, but I wouldn't even want to sit in a room with Erik Synnestvedt for more than 3 seconds. Worst narration ever. I've heard computers sound more realistic than him.

You can't bear listening to that manner of reading. At least it was impossible to me.

Wenn nur der Sprecher nicht wäre...
Würden Sie dieses Buch einem Freund empfehlen? Warum oder warum nicht?
Das Buch an sich ist ein fundiertes, spannendes, umfassendes Werk zum Thema "Consulting" - aber der Sprecher hat eine derart übertriebene Sprechmelodie, dass das Hörbuch zur Qual wird. Schade!!!

Great book, but terrible narrator!
The choice of narrator here is spectacularly misjudged. This is a book on consulting, but the speaker has little authority or depth in his voice, and especially sounds like he has little leadership experience. (for a narrator it's only necessary that he/she SOUNDS like they are fit for the task).
Beyond this, I hear a lot of self-consciousness in the narration, which I find really distracting.
Worst of all, the narrator has this painful habit of adding a sound to the end of most words, which I find deeply affected. Like a bad auctioneer.
Really, I'm not sure who decided that this person should be a narrator, and if I were Peter Block, I would be mortified that my wisdom and experience were being relayed so unpalatably and distractingly.
I'm off to see if I can get my money back, and read the book in my own voice!

Great book with a bad narrator
The book introduces and guides through a great, well structured framework for flawless consulting. Even if not implemented fully, it is full of good ideas, ready for transplantation into one's professional practice.
However, the narrstor is often difficult to follow. He has a very annoying manner of almos extinguishing his voice emission at the end of each sentence. He reads and intonates the text in a way it was not intended, making it hard to understand and forcing frequent repetition.
I suggest to check the sample recording to find out if you can put up with this style or should you switch to the printed version.

Vielleicht als Buch gut aber Hörbuch nicht auszuhalten
Ich kann leider die Geschichte nicht bewerten, denn ich musste abbrechen. Die Art zu reden vom Sprecher war nicht für mich über eine längere Dauer zu ertragen. Er geht immer am Ende von Wörtern runter mit der Stimme und hört sich dann weinerlich an. Ein consultant mit so wenig power in der Stimme, hätte sicherlich Schwierigkeiten seine Punkte mit Bestimmtheit durchzubringen.

Narrator hard to follow
Like others have commented, the narrator is painful to listen to. Couldn’t finish it. Gladly it was a free title and I have the book at home too.
