Ep 46: Leading From the Cab, Not the Corner Office

👤Charles "Terry" Terranova, President & Founder of CharTer Consulting

🎙️Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting

Mining has a talent problem, but Terry Terranova makes the case that it starts much closer to home, with how people are led at work, and whether they leave shift feeling safe, respected, and proud of what they do.

Lindsey Schultz sits down with Terry Terranova to talk about what is actually changing in mining leadership, and why it matters for safety, retention, and the future workforce. Terry shares what he has learned from years spent on mine sites, from the shift away from command and control leadership to a more coaching-based approach built on trust, accountability, and curiosity. They dig into psychological safety, hard conversations, frontline leadership, and the real reasons the talent pipeline feels so tight. A big takeaway, better hiring and better leadership do not just improve production, they shape better careers, stronger teams, and stronger communities around mining.

Our Promise

We spend time with people who are actually doing the work in mining , engineers, operators, leaders, and problem-solvers.

These conversations are about how decisions get made, what's changing, and what people are learning in real time.

The goal is simple , share ideas that stick, and help move the industry forward in a way that lasts.
