All That You Lead

In this episode of “All That You Lead,” we sit down with Tim Walls, President and General Manager of Pazmac, a precision parts manufacturer in Langley, BC. With over 22 years at the helm, Tim’s journey through various industries, including thermoplastics, retail sporting equipment, and fuel cells, has shaped his practical approach to leadership in the demanding world of precision manufacturing.

Tim shares how his broad background – from the shop floor to operations management – has influenced his ability to lead a team through change and growth. He talks about his transition into formal leadership, which stemmed from a willingness to embrace risk and a deep understanding of the importance of balancing business demands with personal dynamics.

Tim discusses how leadership involves blending time-tested principles with innovation and new technologies to stay ahead. His focus on building strong, collaborative relationships with customers highlights his commitment to delivering real value.

Outside of work, Tim’s passion for personal growth shines through in his love for cycling, motorbikes, and music. These hobbies play a key role in his leadership style, encouraging creativity and continuous learning both on and off the job.

Tune in to hear Tim’s insights on running a leading manufacturing company, managing stress, and finding a healthy work-life balance.
