This document discusses how consultants can effectively manage themselves and their relationships to deliver strong performance. It emphasizes understanding one's strengths, work style, and values in order to take on roles and responsibilities that play to one's strengths. It also stresses the importance of understanding clients, colleagues, and their strengths, styles, and values in order to build trust and collaborate effectively. The goal is for consultants to know themselves and their relationships so they can say "yes" to opportunities where they will excel and "no" when not the best fit, thereby optimizing their performance and results.
