The podcast episode of Better in Bucharest features Chris Tatham, CEO of a global market research firm, sharing transformative leadership lessons rooted in faith, humility, and service.
Chris reflects on his early ambition for wealth and power, inspired by figures like Donald Trump, but reveals how his worldview shifted as he recognized the fleeting nature of fame and material success. Anchoring his life in faith and serving others reshaped his approach to leadership, family, and business.
Key points of his philosophy include:
- Excellence in Small Things: Success begins with humility and attention to detail. Small tasks build trust and character.
- Teamwork: Prioritize relationships over self-promotion. Treat every team member with respect and value their input.
- Teachability: Embrace mentorship and lifelong learning. Chris credits mentors like Dr. Chwen Sheu for shaping his life and career.
- Servant Leadership: Serve others selflessly to inspire loyalty and empower future leaders.
- Perseverance: Overcome challenges with resilience, supported by those you've invested in along the way.
Chris emphasizes that true leadership is measured by the lives positively impacted. He challenges listeners to prioritize legacy over self-interest, highlighting the exponential influence a leader can have on others and, by extension, society. Grounded in biblical principles, he asserts that fulfillment and success come from putting others first, echoing the teachings of Jesus: “If you want to be first, you must be last and servant of all.
