Working for a highly respected firm of management consultants, William was a Director at 34, enjoyed an excellent salary package and had a portfolio of clients that included some of the world’s largest and most prestigious companies. However, the nights away and long hours were taking their toll, and he wasn’t seeing enough of his young family. He decided to leave the firm and do something that would provide a better balance between his work and private life. William decided to hire a professional career consultant.

The Issues:

Management consultancy was all he knows

He didn’t know what else he could do

And he didn’t know what he wanted to do

Explanation / Answer

William could start his own management advisory and consulting firm considering the goodwill that he developed with the clients he worked with earlier.

2. Ensuring getting business is not the ultimate objective rather sustaining business with a good work-life balance fit is the objective.

3. Setting moderately aggressive goals and ensuring everyone in the firm gets a good work-life balance fit without over-exploitation.

4. Implementing initiatives that foster work-life balance in the firm.
