When leadership teams become over-reliant on external consultants

Our executive team keeps hiring consultants to solve problems that I think we could handle internally, but every time I suggest we try to work through something ourselves there's this collective sigh like I'm being naive. I'm starting to wonder if we've lost confidence in our own ability to think through hard problems or if I'm just not seeing the complexity others see.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group has developed learned helplessness about their own problem-solving capabilities, preferring expensive external validation to internal struggle.
