Why we exsist
Fleets, warehouses, and balance sheets are audited.
Leadership rarely is.
Yet leadership capability determines whether logistics businesses scale, stall, or fail to realise their ambition.
RHOMB exists to bring clarity to leadership decisions — replacing narrative, politics, and assumption with evidence and pattern.
What we do
Leadership Clarity Review
A concise, evidence-based review that provides clear answers to three questions:
What leadership capability do we actually have today?
Across the senior team, in context.
How does it hold under pressure?
Scale, complexity, succession, and operational strain.
Is it aligned with where the business is going next?
Belief, behaviour, and ambition versus reality.
Deliverable: A confidential Leadership Clarity Pack with a private board-level debrief.
No theatre. No programmes. Just clarity you can act on.
How we work
We measure leadership in context, not on paper.
Cognitive Structure – how leaders process complexity and make decisions under time/volume stress.
Adaptive Pattern – response to change, friction, and step-ups in scale.
Emotional Conductivity – how energy, trust, and influence move through the team (who amplifies, who blocks).
Trajectory Integrity – alignment between personal ambition and organisational direction (now and next).
These layers combine into a single map of strengths, widening gaps, and alignment risk.

What RHOMB is not
RHOMB is not a recruitment business.
Although it deals with people, RHOMB does not exist to hire them.
Recruitment answers who is available.
RHOMB examines whether the leadership you have — or are considering — actually fits what the business is trying to do next.
It operates before hiring, promotion, or succession decisions harden — not after.
RHOMB is not a personality or psychometric assessment.
Although leaders are scored and benchmarked, RHOMB does not measure traits in isolation or rely on abstract models.
Psychometrics describe what someone is like.
RHOMB looks at how leadership shows up in reality — in context, under pressure, and against the real demands of the organisation.
RHOMB is not an HR tool.
While it touches capability, alignment, and succession, it is not designed for compliance, process, or continuity.
HR systems support organisations.
RHOMB provides clarity for decision-makers when performance, politics, or reassurance are masking risk.
RHOMB is not coaching or development.
Its role is not to improve leaders.
Its role is to clarify whether improvement is the right assumption — or whether the issue is a structural mismatch between leadership capability and business direction.
RHOMB is not consultancy.
It does not sell programmes, transformation plans, or operating models.
RHOMB reveals leadership reality — and leaves action, ownership, and consequence with boards, investors, and owners.
Where RHOMB Sits
RHOMB sits between recruitment, HR, and strategy - in the space where leadership decisions are most consequential and least clear.
It is used when:
Business is entering a new phase
Leadership capability is being tested by scale, complexity, or change
Performance narratives no longer feel reliable
Succession or retention decisions carry asymmetric risk
RHOMB brings leadership clarity:
Evidence over opinion
Context over performance
Insight that holds under pressure
It does not make decisions for people.
It helps them make better ones — before options narrow.
This lens underpins every RHOMB diagnostic, scenario analysis, and leadership review.
Who we work with
Private Equity
Boards & Chairs
Leadership due diligence
Independent visibility
Owners & CEO's
Independent, defensible insight that stands up in the boardroom. Evidence and judgement, not surveys or psychometrics.
Clarity before direction
Clarity before direction — understanding who is truly fit for now, who can step up, and where pressure will expose gaps.
Leadership clarity pre- or post-deal, succession exposure, and early detection of leadership risk.
Why RHOMB

Diagnostic, not consultancy: we reveal reality; you decide action.
Evidence-based: scored, benchmarked, and defensible.
Repeatable lens: the same clarity applied consistently, across contexts
Agenda-free: we don’t protect politics; we protect outcomes.
