McKinsey consultants excel in four main areas:
Problem solving. We help leaders solve their toughest and most urgent problems. We have strong intellectual abilities and a practical sense of what works in complex organizations.
Achievement. We strive to make a distinctive and lasting impact for our clients. This requires tremendous energy, determination, and judgment, particularly when working with multiple stakeholders under tight deadlines.
Communication. We work closely with a wide range of people within the context of their daily jobs. This calls for strong communication skills—particularly when addressing conflicting points of view. We are adept at building trusting relationships with clients to enlist their participation and support.
Leadership. Leading people and fostering productive teamwork are critical to success here. Our leadership skills bring people together to drive positive change within organizations.
