General Consultant Discussion

Was there a list somewhere about ""what makes a good consultant""? I thought I remembered some discussion on this but cannot find anything.

Not ringing a bell.

Dawn, maybe you were thinking about conversation around Ed's blog article from a while back: http://edkless.com/2009/04/insights-session-the-two-as-of-consulting-authenticity-and-altruism/ And I would another ""A"", assertive (as opposed to aggressive). How about creative, patient and sympathetic?
