The reality of a healthcare consulting career can be vastly different from how people often imagine it. Although an executive might transition to a consulting role, management experience and knowledge do not guarantee success.

Executive Turned Consultant: Transitioning from Experienced Executive to Trusted Advisor in Healthcare provides a road map for executives contemplating a move into management consulting. The book walks readers through key considerations and includes firsthand accounts of executives who have navigated the transition.

Topics covered include:

Why and how to conduct a mid-career assessmentWhat motivates someone to make a career changeHow consulting compares with executive managementThe unique challenges of moving from a "decider" to an "advisor"Common mistakes executives make when launching a consulting careerThe pros and cons of joining an existing firm versus going into solo practiceHow to determine the best time to make the move to consulting

In his previous book, The Healthcare Consultant's Handbook: Career Opportunities and Best Practices, author Scott A. Mason offered early careerists insight into the essential role of healthcare consultants and what truly makes a consultant exceptional. Now he provides practical guidance to help healthcare executives make an informed career decision about becoming a professional consultant, with eyes wide open to both the risks and rewards.
