But as I was reading through, a myriad of disadvantages kept flashing. While I agree that specific technical and enterprise functional roles have traditionally been well-suited for outsourcing, I am struggling to see the same for executive roles.

I strongly feel, outsourced executives might lack in-depth understanding especially of the industry nuances or the company’s unique market position, which can lead to less effective decision-making.

The presence of outsourced executives might lead to lower morale among existing employees, especially if they feel their opportunities for growth or promotion within the company are being diluted.

Outsourced executives might have other clients or previous associations ( as human as we all are, some of these might even be tighter relationships ) that could create conflicts of interest, potentially compromising their ability to act in the best interest of the current business.
