About this audiobook
The consultant paid to eliminate a department didn’t recognize the name was his own.
He is paid to be the person who sees what others cannot. Brought in to assess a corporate advisory function — what to keep, what to restructure, what to cut — he works with his customary precision. Structured interviews. Organizational mapping. Clean, defensible methodology.
On day one, he writes the department’s name at the top of a notebook page. He does not recognize it as his own.
Over three weeks, the details assemble themselves — not in a single shattering moment, but with the slow, merciless logic of things that were always obvious. The colleagues he interviews occupy unfamiliar boxes on a chart that should be familiar. The function he is preparing to eliminate is, legally and technically, his.
The evidence was there from the beginning. He wrote it down himself.
