Following footsteps

A cynic claimed that if people failed in busness they became consultants. If that were true then the present proliferation of consultants would be scary! In fact there is a place for advisors but often people are more ready to follow footsteps than advice. People who can show us how we may succeed have more effect that the theorists who simply tell us. Practitioners challenge us to 'go and do likewise'. In one way or another we should all lead by example.
