This week another consultant put into a higher position than mine put out a directive that would have shut my overall effectiveness down almost totally. He had no idea what he was asking for, but put it out anyway. The guy I'm reporting to didn't seem as though he was trying to do anything about it, even though this guy was in another department, so I felt as though I had no support, and was ready to move on; after all, why take someone's money for no reason. Instead, I find out later that he was talking to the guy backchannel; he just never thought about telling me until he had gotten some things resolved. So, the circumstance brought me to the brink of leaving a high paying consulting gig because the other person wasn't communicating effectively with me. In my mind, he should have come to me immediately and said he was going to get to the bottom of the directive, as we'd both gotten it at the same time. As we both know, bad communications have started wars; I'm glad the flag of peace was raised on this one just in time.
