“As actions always speak louder than words, this approach is particularly relevant for a business like ours, where we have to get our hands dirty — literally.”
The Latin proverb “Acta non verba” — or “Deeds, not words” — is one motto mining industry veteran Chris Lim lives by. It underpins his philosophy of leading by example when it comes to managing the operations of Singapore Exchange (SGX)-listed CNMC Goldmine Holdings.
“Taking the lead and setting an example is something we instill across the entire corporate hierarchy at CNMC,” says 48-year-old Lim, the company’s group CEO. “Whether you’re a C-suite executive or the leader of a small team, we expect you to guide those under your care through your actions and the way you carry yourself,” he adds.
