Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.

We find out what made each candidate leave their last role, because that tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Who the role reports to
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
