Triats....1. Professionalism Consultants should always keep in mind that client relationship should remain at a professional level. It is sometimes easy for consultants to take on an employee attitude, which in many environments can backfire on the consultant and actually create a negative situation for the project.2. Time Management Consultants should look for ways to adjust their work style to accommodate the schedule, budget and overall requirements of the project. 3. Judgment Consultants are required to have good judgment when confronted with a problem. We should not jump to conclusions. Consultants should take time to consider the facts and to get feedback from their peers and management before reaching a decision.4.Team Player Consultants must demonstrate that they are team players and are willing to learn from team members, genuinely valuing the input and expertise of others. It is important to establish a collaborative relationship with peers.5. Good Communication Skills The consultant should have excellent oral and written communication skills. Since we are often viewed as the subject matter expert (SME), we should be able to communicate our opinions effectively.
