Growing out of the fish bowl

The Chinese author Xu Zhiyuan writes, 

 

“An insider is like a fish in a fishbowl, unable to see the exact shape of its surroundings even though those surroundings are perfectly clear to everyone else,” (Paper Tiger, p. xi). 


 

This image makes me think about CEOs of SMEs who know their business inside out but need help from an “outsider” to see the bigger picture and grow their business to the next level. 

 

If you are trying to grow your business, and you need to introduce a multitude of changes to make this happen, I wonder whether Xu Zhiyuan’s quote illustrating the benefit of getting help from an “outsider” resonates with you.
