When Influence Matters More Than Authority
A Fortune 500 executive once confessed that despite commanding a billion-dollar budget and thousands of employees, she felt powerless to change her organization's toxic culture. Meanwhile, a mid-level HR consultant with no formal authority successfully transformed the same company's approach to performance reviews. What made the difference? The executive relied on positional power; the consultant understood something more fundamental about how change actually happens. This paradox sits at the heart of consulting work. Whether you're labeled a consultant, advisor, coach, or internal specialist, you face the same fundamental challenge: creating change without control. You can't order people to implement your recommendations. You can't force leaders to see what they're missing. You can't mandate that teams embrace new approaches. All you have is influence-and that influence depends entirely on the quality of your relationships. Think about the last time someone gave you unsolicited advice, no matter how brilliant. Did you immediately embrace it? Probably not. Now recall a time when someone genuinely partnered with you to solve a problem-listening deeply, sharing control, wrestling with uncertainty together. That collaboration likely produced something neither of you could have created alone. This distinction reveals why most consulting failures have nothing to do with technical competence. Consultants typically possess solid expertise. What derails projects is relationship breakdown-stakeholders feeling excluded, cultural dynamics ignored, or power struggles unaddressed.
