Steve Jobs on consultants.

"I'd rather throw a viper down my pants than hire a consultant." - Charlie Munger

He's talking about having skin in the game, and he's absolutely right of course. Dude was a genius through and through.

"accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes" Yep, something consultants never do.

Steve Jobs believed that the most valuable insights and work secrets were best kept within the company. This approach ensured that Apple maintained its competitive edge and that the team's expertise was not easily replicated by external consultants. Classic Steve.

Basically, he meant this...

I’m lucky enough to have worked with bananas, peaches, grapes and pineapple and tasted the good the bad and the ugly of all of them! No pictures, only scar tissue.

Wow. It's absolutely true, not only for business.

An experienced consultant eases your life a lot (crow very well knows the abilities-nature of cat and no harm will be caused)

A firm that sends you consultants under 40 is stealing from your company. Also, McKinsey.
