Our founder, Tomas Bata, understood that in order to do a job well, we must lead by example. We have never forgotten our founder's words, and today we still hold the same beliefs to be true. The decisions we take are made with our long-term future in mind, not for immediate gain. A great team needs more than just great leaders; it needs everyone to work together to get the job done. At Bata we know that all our personnel share our values of integrity, taking responsibility and leading by example. This attitude allows us to constantly evolve and stay competitive.
