When Does a Leadership Team Need Help? (Top 5 List)
#1 - Failure to Execute
Whether it's the distractions, the lack of capabilities or the "meetings about the meetings," the on-the-ground team has not been able to get traction to get that important job done. When this happens, it may be time to introduce a new approach to get the project back on track.
#2 - Lack of Clarity
Sometimes the business need is clear, but the path forward is not. When there's a need for direction or a clear lack of alignment, its often a good idea to utilize an external advisor to listen to the team members and their ideas and help them develop a collective strategy about what to do next.
#3 - Unable to Change
New projects can be difficult to staff, often because leaders are either too busy or too attached to the current state to drive a new project forward. In these cases, it's often better to bring in an outside leader who can implement a solution with a healthy amount of independence and objectivity.
#4 - Technology Adoption
Some organizations are so comfortable in the day-to-day that they cannot understand how a new technology might help them automate and improve their business. In these cases, it can be helpful to utilize an external voice to show them what's possible and help them implement the new capabilities and technologies.
#5 - Leadership Gap
Sometimes a critical role opens up unexpectedly and leaves the team scrambling to keep thing moving. In many cases it makes sense to hire an interim leader to fill the gap and stabilize the situation while the organization searches for a suitable permanent candidate.
