The feminine in management consulting
power, emotion, and values in consulting interactions
by Sheila Marsh
Through ‘live’ material from consulting practice and an historical review of advice-giving to pre-modern leaders, this book uncovers a distinctive ‘feminine’ discourse of management consulting that challenges current (masculine) images of management consulting.

Book Details
First Sentence
"A notorious ‘amusing’ anecdote about management consultants concerns a dead horse and how many stupid, worthless, desperate and absurd approaches to tackling it (including of course flogging it) the consultant formulates, while ignoring the immutable fact that the horse is indeed already dead. This story, and others similar, which circulate unchallenged and are endlessly re-told (readers will undoubtedly have their own examples) are part of the complex and ambiguous process whereby the consultant achieves her identity or sense of self and forges her sense of worth or value."
