Becoming A Leader

One important lesson that has significantly impacted the life and career for Alin is the power of perseverance. Alin believes the journey toward success is often filled with challenges, setbacks, and obstacles, and it’s easy to become discouraged and tempted to give up when faced with difficulties. However, those who persevere through adversity and stay committed to their goals have a higher chance of achieving long-term success.

Building A Great Company

ROMBAT’s mission was created using the Golden Circle concept. The Golden Circle theory explains how leaders can inspire cooperation, trust, and change in a business based on Simon Sinek’s research into how the most successful organizations think, act, and communicate if they start with why. ROMBAT understood that its purpose in the economy is to produce and bring to the market batteries to be used by people or companies, in safe conditions, at the highest technical standards. Whether it’s about lead-acid or Lithium-Ion batteries, the ROMBAT team always focuses on development and research, both from a technical point of view and for aspects related to customer service.

Alin and his team are concerned with research and development; they also look at industries other than automotive. ROMBAT is constantly evolving and is always looking for solutions, thinking, and acting for the future. The company is the leader of the national battery market and the only brand of batteries manufactured in Romania, being part of a strong international group. ROMBAT is a brand with Romanian roots that serves the entire country, also having a significant global presence. Thus, the ROMBAT battery operates vehicles in over 30 countries on four continents because the team’s performances are also appreciated outside Romania’s borders.

For the near future, the company is looking to new market opportunities and are trying to expand its operations into new regions; they are going to launch new products and, why not, make strategic acquisitions and partnerships. “We are focused on developing a strong leadership team and nurturing talent within the organization. Developing a capable and motivated workforce is essential for long-term success, and for this reason, our internal program of mentoring, leadership, and succession plan is considered highly important,” adds Alin.

Alin leads by example and considers that making himself meaningful will directly impact others. “In other words, for me personally, the positive contributions that I have made, or the influence I would like to have on our employees, clients, partners, and community are critical for the success of the business,” elucidates Alin. “I will continue to be focused on the people I serve, both from a professional and personal perspective. I will continue to be involved in programs to give clear career progression to employees. Succession plans and career progression projects will have a significant impact on the professional evolution of my colleagues. At the same time, we developed many CSR programs, and we involve our colleagues in this area, as well.”

For Alin as a leader, one of the things that he finds essential for a sustainable future is the opportunities that the employees’ jobs give their families. The company pays a fair wage and shares the wealth when things are good, allowing its employees to support their families, provide opportunities for their children and otherwise improve their lives. “Medical services for the entire family, a new project for a kindergarten, access to cultural events, special training for employees’ children, Rombat marathon. We support their development on multiple levels: health, culture, education, sport,” adds Alin. “We aim to remain the leader in our industry, incorporating more innovation, more disruptive concepts in our portfolio. Last but not least, we want to be the first option when it comes to the decision to work in a company.”
