Abstract
Part 1 of this two-part article addressed the approach and skills needed to gain a clearly defined and agreed-upon direction for the consulting mission. The importance of mental preparation and flexibility was emphasized and a number of ethical dilemmas were reviewed, including confidentiality issues. Part 2 addresses strategies for handling difficult psychological issues that often come up in the process of internal consulting. Transference, resistance, regressions, and counterproductive group dynamics are reviewed. These psychological issues may be the predominant source of stress in an internal consulting experience. Case examples are presented along with some empowering strategies. It is hoped that through this review, the quality professional will be better prepared to meet the exciting and rewarding challenges of internal consulting.
