"The people who are absent are the ideal; those who are present seem to be quite common place."
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Late 18th, early 19th century German author
As a consultant I sometimes find that clients who hire me, more value my opinion than they do that coming from some of their employees.
I understand I need to make a contribution, and more often than not, I actually do.
However, taking nothing away from me, there are times when what that is was in-house all along, had senior management only listened to their employees.
That's just the way it is; we sometimes don't recognize the value of those closest to us as much as we do those further away.
