Explaining why consultants can be more effective than employees, Mr. Callas says:
"As a consultant, one has a special status; unburdened by the mountain of paper and the daily workload that dampen the enthusiasm of employees, I can surmount inertia to get a job done quickly and efficiently. Coming from the outside, it's easier to cut through office politics to institute change and to objectively identify and correct productivity problems."
