my notes ( ? )
A whole bunch of reasons why the wrong consultants are hired for the wrong reasons:
"When we don’t know much about somebody, we ... think about people in over-optimistic ways...what normal individual can stand up against an outsider or expert made up of pixie dust and rainbows?
... when we go looking for a better expert ... we tend to find them, even when they don’t really exist... the people we should trust most, who have a unique understanding of our situation, are overlooked...
Gallup found that when employees ideas are ignored, 40 percent become disengaged ... I’m not saying hiring outsiders is always a bad idea, there are good reasons, but the evidence shows how catastrophic ignoring the internal talent you have is.
