Most leadership decisions in logistics are still made through a mixture of experience, instinct, internal opinion and how someone comes across.
Sometimes that works well. Sometimes it doesn't.
The difficult bit is that leadership capability is highly contextual. Someone can be exceptional in one environment and completely misaligned in another. A leader who was right for a £70m founder-led operator may not be right for a PE-backed scale phase. Someone who thrives in operational stability may struggle in ambiguity, restructuring or transformation.
On paper, both can still look impressive.
That's the gap RHOMB sits in.
Not recruitment. Not psychometrics. Not consultancy.
A clearer, evidence-led view of leadership capability in context, against the market, and under real operating conditions.
Particularly in logistics and supply chain businesses going through growth, automation, restructuring, succession or ownership change - where the cost of misreading leadership becomes disproportionately expensive.
The aim isn't to replace judgement. It's to make sure decisions are being made on something more reliable than familiarity, politics, confidence or narrative alone.
What RHOMB produces
Where this leader sits in the market
What they are likely to deliver next
The gap between the two
Their Market Positioning Score - what the market has already validated. Anchored to salary, governance tier, and organisational scale. Not what their CV claims.
The Market Fit Index - a forward-looking read of their capability in the right context. Not potential in the abstract. Pattern-based readiness.
The Delta - whether they are under-leveraged, correctly placed, or carrying more risk than the decision accounts for. The gap most hiring decisions miss.
Who it’s for
Private Equity investors evaluating leadership ahead of acquisition, transition, or, exit.
Boards and Chairs making succession or structural decisions.
Founders and owner-operators preparing scale, sale, or leadership change.
CEOs making high stakes hiring or promotion decisions and wanting more than instinct.
RHOMB is most useful when the decision is consequential, the cost of error is high, and the existing information feels unreliable.
