This is also a feature since contractors can be told upfront what to do in deliverables and the medium for deliverables. I plan on using contractors in the future.

I look forward to not having to inspire or align people and just tell people "this is what I want".

Their skin in the game is their reputation for repeat work.

What I like about contractors is that good ones will give you suggestions and recommendations for improvement, but they won't make it their life's eternal mission to throw your entire project off track by campaigning for their solution.

I had a contractor do literally that.
