When should business leaders seek "outside help"?

by Rick Baker
On Jan 24, 2013

When should business leaders seek "outside help"?

When I use the words "outside help" I mean help from mentors, coaches, consultants, etc.

Business leaders should seek "outside help" when 3 conditions are met:

  1. The leader identifies a situation that must change.
  2. The leaders is ready to accept "outside" opinions, which will expand options for future action and, perhaps, test the thickness of the leader's skin, &
  3. The leader is ready to embrace changes...including some small personal adjustments.
