About Mark McHam

Why do you do, what you do? For me that answer is easy. I love where passion for people meets opportunity. Opportunities to see them grow and develop personally and professionally. I am a leader of leaders at an amazing company that is committed not only to great technology, products and solutions for industrial manufacturing, but also committed to an amazing culture. A culture that encourages teams to innovate new ways of doing things through experimentation. One where people have the opportunity to expand their network across a matrixed organization and facilitate strong collaboration between both internal teams and external channel partners. As a continual student of leadership I must admit, the \"why\" I do what I do is not the technology we offer or the client problems we solve. Those are important. But my \"why\" is the joy I get watching my team bond, succeed, and overcome.Three principals describe the way I show up to work:First, Nelson Mandela\'s father was a tribal chief, and he had 2 consistent memories as a young boy watching his father lead the elders 1. They always sat in a circle, and 2. His father always spoke last.Second, Tony Hsieh\'s famous creativity and culture work in his business was summed up in his quote,\"As a leader I don\'t really do much more than facilitate the opportunity for meaningful collisions.\"And Third, Colossian\'s 3.23 which says,\"Whatever you do, do it with all of your heart, as if working for the Lord and not men.\"
