Open positions that need to be filled are a given in any organization. Employees move on voluntarily, are asked to leave, get promoted, retire or the organization creates a new role. The question then becomes whether to look internally for a candidate or to bring in someone from outside the organization. 

 

The choice, and the circumstances surrounding that choice are much more nuanced than might first appear to be the case. Therefore, we look at what the research suggests as well as actual examples from the business and sports world. We share stories of some of the successes of each choice as well as some of the failures, pulling out the lessons from which our listeners can learn. We also point out some of the contextual clues that can inform and guide which decision is likely the best at that specific time.
