Consultants will need to work in teams where it is important to perform effectively as a team member as well as a leader. As you develop your career you will increasingly assume a leadership role and it will be vital that your leadership qualities evolve as you progress through various stages of your professional career.
You will likely have sought leadership roles in your work, sport or community contributions. Those who have taught, coached or feel comfortable in leadership roles will be well suited to a life of consulting.
