Books:
-
This is a compendium for beginner or veteran covering
what to consider, possess, or create for a successful practice, with specific
examples and templates to incorporate. -
"Breaking Through
Writer's Block: Every Business Letter and Template You'll Ever
Need for A Thriving Professional Services Practice." -
Alan's most definitive work on a subject he's become passionate about:
blending life, work, and relationships into a holistic, fulfilling existence.
-
Alan's only book written expressly for internal change agents, human
resource professionals, trainers, and others who want to become more effective
in internal change initiatives. -
This
sixth book in "The Ultimate Consultant Series" provides the wisdom Alan
has gleaned from his own practice--and from other veteran consultants--to
help overcome both persistent problems and the challenges of reaching the
next level of success. -
This is the first and most likely the only book that Alan Weiss will
ever write on the methodology and techniques of consulting. This fifth book
in "The Ultimate Consultant Series" is crammed with the detailed approaches
Alan uses in all major aspects of consulting. -
The fourth book in "The Ultimate
Consultant Series" from Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer focuses on the acquisition
of new business, of more concern for consultants today than ever before. -
This is the third book in the seven-book "The Ultimate Consultant Series."
It contains everything Alan knows about value-based fees, a concept he pioneered
over a decade ago.
