Episode Description:
Matt Fuhrman says that leadership is exercised at the point of impact. Sure, you can build a healthy culture, but the test of leadership is when you have to make decisions that require you to “die to self.” Matt is the founder of the maritime recruiting firm Core Group Resources, and in today’s interview, he challenges leaders to put core values into practice when times are tough. He believes that Christian social responsibility is performed at every level of business and is openly displayed. Matt put his values on the website to attract like-minded employees and customers.
In this interview, you’ll hear:
- Instead of taking customers to bars, Matt takes them on mission trips.
- How Christian leaders display their faith in moments that require them to “die to self.”
- Why being rigid in your conviction and community with the Lord is more important now than ever.
“People do what people see.” And when people see Matt Fuhrman live a godly life, he sets the pace for other Christian leaders.
