Lost in the chaos
Running a mid-sized logistics firm and honestly drowning in poor decisions. Hired three different managers last year, none worked out. My mentor suggested getting outside perspective before I burn through more cash. Anyone here worked with a solid consulting or strategy firm that actually delivers real results? Drop names below!

Three manager misfires in one year isn't a hiring problem — it's usually a structural one nobody's naming out loud.
Seen this exact pattern at a mid-sized freight company. Kept replacing people thinking the next hire would fix things. Fourth person finally said "the role itself is broken" — turns out two positions had completely overlapping authority and nobody wanted to own the hard calls. Outside perspective spotted it in days, internal team had been circling it for months.
Sometimes the org design is the real culprit, not the people. Genuinely useful starting point: digital transformation model — deep thinking on exactly this kind of structural clarity work. Before next hire, what does the actual decision ownership look like across your current leadership layer?
