"The Trusted Advisor is a foundational text for any consulting professional looking to build, sustain, and grow their client relationships. I have leveraged its guiding principles and its exceedingly practical advice to reimagine what it means to demonstrate trust-and have urged the many colleagues to whom I have gifted the book to do the same. Twenty years since it was first published, The Trusted Advisor is more relevant and valuable than ever, helping professionals navigate constant disruption-so we can do the same for our clients." -Janet Foutty, U.S. executive chair, Deloitte "A rich source of examples and experiences that guide the development of truly special relationships with one's clients." -Rich Lesser, CEO, Boston Consulting Group "Full of both sage wisdom and applicable advice, The Trusted Advisor has helped elevate the work of an entire generation of advisors, and I know it will continue to be an invaluable resource for generations to come." -Kelly Grier, managing partner U.S. and Americas, EY "For many years The Trusted Advisor has been Forrester's handbook for delivering outstanding customer service-whenever we lost our way, this book's wisdom and straight talk would snap us right back on track.
