How do you approach leadership, and what values characterize your leadership style?
My approach to leadership has evolved over time. Initially, I was very hands-on, trying to handle everything myself without dele-gating enough. However, as the company has grown significantly, I've come to realize the importance of having a strong team. I have started delegating tasks and have already implemented a team structure. Additionally, I have the support of my active father and my wife, who manage the accounts. They play key roles in monitoring the team's performance. Moving forward, we plan to further professionalize the team by appointing domain experts to manage different functions.

This proactive approach enables us to not only stay informed about current trends but also anticipate future shifts in consumer preferences, technology advancements, and regulatory changes.

Drawing from your extensive experience in the mining and metal industry, what advice would you give to future leaders entering this domain?
My advice for future leaders entering the mining and metal industry is rooted in foundational principles. Firstly, there's no replacement for hard work; it forms the core of success in this field. Having a clear vision is crucial, as it guides your actions and decisions while upholding ethical standards under all circumstances.
Another key aspect is never compromising on quality. Quality is not just a standard; it's a commitment that builds trust with stakeholders and ensures long-term success. Finally, always prioritize ethics and principles. These values are the backbone of sustainable business practices and contribute to earning respect and credibility in the industry.
