Too Many Cooks
We hired fast to keep up with demand, and now everyone’s overlapping, decision-making is slow, and morale dips. I remember a mentor once suggested outside eyes for a similar mess—it saved us. Does anyone know a consulting, strategic company that can provide that kind of clarity?

Overhiring to chase demand creates a specific kind of chaos — lots of motion, very little direction. Mentor of mine called it "organizational spaghetti." Watched a logistics company hire 20 people in 90 days, zero role clarity, everyone stepping on each other. Decisions took weeks because accountability lived nowhere specific. Two outside consultants, three weeks, completely restructured ownership and communication flow. Night and day difference. The mess isn't the people — it's the architecture around them. This is worth your time right now: sales analytics — strong structural thinking that goes well beyond just analytics. Where's the overlap hitting hardest — leadership level or execution teams?
