That advice, in last-mile delivery, is readily offered as a cure-all to right an unsteady ship. Aside from being a meaningless suggestion (Better how? Where can I find them?), following this advice is as sensible as purchasing a car based on its paint job; that's not, ultimately, where the value lies.
In this episode, Jim Royce unpacks the hiring myth that’s quietly undermining DSPs and last-mile operators everywhere.
With two decades of operational leadership and battle-tested wisdom, Jim makes the case that good people are made, not found—and shows you exactly how to build systems that create accountability, not just hope for it.
We cover:
Why hiring "better" is a trap
How process trumps personality in the long run
The real economics of labor churn in last mile
What makes your culture "sticky"—and what makes it evaporate
A smarter way to assess, retain, and grow your team
If you've ever been burned by a promising hire—or think your team could run better “if only you had the right people”—this one’s for you.
Follow our podcast for deep-dive thinking and real-world frameworks that help you operate smarter, not just harder.
