An author, Larry Osborne, in a book about contrarians defines a consultant as âsomeone whose wisdom we highly value and listen to, but at the end of the day, we make the final decision. Thatâs why theyâre called consultants.â
I had to laugh at his definition as there is a fair amount of truth it. But that was not the end of his words. He continued with his thesis: âGod doesnât do consulting. Never has. Never will. He does God. When we treat him as a consultant, He simply stops showing up to the meetings. We may think He is there. But Heâs not.â
