CLASH OF THE E-CONSULTANTS

摘要

Fred Huff presides over a room full of new recruits like the facilitator at a New Age relationship weekend. The khaki-clad people-strategies director at Sapient Corp., a Cambridge (Mass.) Internet consulting firm, is asking the new hires to break into small groups and sit in circles. Huff asks them to share the ups and downs of their personal and pro- fessional lives and the secrets of what motivates them. Then he asks them to tie their personal motivations to Sapi-ent's mission: to help companies, big and small, get wired—and fast—to the Web. "I ask them to see themselves as revolutionaries," he says. "I tell them there's no room for ambivalence."
