What is the most important skill for a consultant?

Recommended Posts

Junior consultants are the ones who do the bulk of the work in top consulting firms.  They require strong analytical and quantitative skills, but also require other qualities like communication skills, people skills, leadership and self motivation. 

Once a consultant becomes a partner, the key skills she requires are sales and marketing skills.  Consulting is a business like any other, and if you don't have the ability to attract paying clients then your analytical skills and other positive qualities won't be very helpful.
