Leading from the Front: Timothy Toombs' Approach as Executive VP

Explore Timothy Toombs' unique leadership approach as Executive Vice President.
The Role of an Executive Vice President
As the Executive Vice President of Simpay, I play a crucial role in the organization. I am responsible for overseeing the company's sales growth and ensuring its success. I draw upon my extensive experience and the lessons I've learned along the way to help shape Simpay's strategic vision, and guide Simpay towards growth and profitability.
Being an Executive Vice President means more than just holding a high position. It means being a leader, a decision-maker, and a problem-solver. I believe in leading from the front and setting an example for others to follow.
Leading by Example
One of my core leadership principles is leading by example. I believe actions speak louder than words and that true leadership is demonstrated through one's behavior. I set high standards for myself and expect the same from my team members.
My goal is to inspire others to give their best and strive for excellence. When leaders lead by example, it creates a positive and productive work environment where everyone is motivated to perform their best.
Building Trust in Leadership
Trust is the foundation of any successful organization. Building trust is a continuous process that requires open communication, transparency, and integrity.
All leaders, at any level of leadership, should be approachable and accessible to their team members. Listening to ideas, taking in feedback, looking for ways to work through challenges, and celebrate wins fosters collaboration, innovation, and a "Will do".
Developing Talent and Nurturing Growth
In my years in the industry, I've discovered that meeting people where they are, at each stage of their career, and helping them grow and develop is key to their success. Everyone has unique strengths and areas for improvement. Investing time and effort in identifying and nurturing talent on your teams will always pay great dividends.
Wherever I can, I provide mentorship and guidance to my team members, helping them unlock their full potential. And I encourage everyone to get a mentor and to be a mentor. When we all come together to create a strong foundation, growth and success become easier.
Creating a Vision for Success
I work with my teams to create a clear and compelling vision for success. When everyone understands the importance of having a shared purpose and direction, we can each communicate this vision effectively to our team members.
A strong vision creates alignment and inspires a sense of ownership and commitment among team members. By setting ambitious yet realistic goals, we are all motivated to achieve greatness and drive Simpay towards continued success.
