Can a project leader really be from outside my organization?
In a word, yes! Surprisingly, the best project leaders do not always come from within the organization. Those closest to a project often 'cannot see the forest for the trees'. Coming from the outside is advantageous since the project leader does not carry the burdens of bias and preference that each of us develops during our tenure. As we have said, objectivity is a fundamental trait for a project leader. The contractual project leader possesses a forward looking perspective, unfettered by the practices of the past. Perhaps the notion of a contractual project leader is attractive but does not fit into the budget. You might also consider the benefits of a contractual project leader to help you design the project and then rely upon qualified in-house leadership to complete the project. The objectivity of the independent project leader can increase project efficiency and result in reduced project costs.
