What Do You Do When You Need Someone Whose Nose Isn't Pressed to the Same Glass?

RESEARCH: I just returned from New York. A client flew me in for two days to run a strategy retreat. It is always striking how much value a skilled outsider can bring to a discussion of talented executives. It is equally striking how frequently talented executives resist such help when they need someone whose nose isn’t pressed up against the same glass as their own.

What’s your experience with bringing in outside help? Do you? Don’t you? Have you had good experiences? Bad? Both?
