Good Consultant or Bad Consultant?
Through the magic of metaphor, Dorothy lands in The Land of Oz. There, a shiny bubble appears, then dissolves to reveal Glinda.
Glinda asks Dorothy, "Are you a good consultant or a bad consultant?"
Dorothy replies, "I'm not a consultant at all. Consultants are mean and ugly."
The Munchkins laugh.
"What's that? Dorothy asks.
Glinda replies, "The Munchkins. They are laughing because, I am a consultant."
"I beg your pardon," Dorothy says as she curtsies.
"You see," Glinda says, "only bad consultants are mean and ugly. Good consultants are sweet and beautiful. Like me."
We see this played out as Dorothy heads to the Emerald City.
The Wicked Consultant of the West, does everything she can to impede Dorothy and her friends on their journey to the Emerald City.
While Glinda, the Good Consultant of the South, does everything she can to help Dorothy and her friends get to the Emerald City and to help Dorothy return to Kansas. And Toto too.
Now, when you are looking to hire a consultant, do your homework. And, in the event you make the wrong choice, keep a bucket of water handy.
Regards,
Slim.
