One of the most critical assets in a mining company is its Mine General Manager (GM). Not only do these individuals manage production, but they should lead people, inspire strategic thinking, productivity, and innovation.
Their ability to lead directly impacts profitability. And in many cases, the company might only have one or two producing assets. Despite this potential material risk, few companies de-risk their hiring process.
Many mining firms still employ reactive “success-based” recruiting methods, hoping to find the right fit for this vital role. We know because we speak to stakeholders around the globe about their hiring processes daily.
We also find that most companies focus purely on technical aspects and skills-based measures. They give little attention to strategic thinking around culture fit, leadership, or driving transformation, critical for retention and positive ROI.
