Leveraging Thought Leadership With Peter Winick – Episode 185 – David A. Fields

Great consultants know that generalists don’t win. Leaders want someone who specializes, someone who knows their specific problem inside and out. If your message is too broad, it won’t reach the people who need you – and they won’t trust that you’re the consultant they need.
