EP.118 Peter Robinson | Part One: From the Mining Industry to One of the Most Successful Organisations of the Modern Era

If you are searching for ways to create a winning team and culture in the mining industry, then emulating an uber-successful organisation such as the Melbourne Storm is a perfect way to begin.

Today we talk to former miner, professional rugby league player, and Cobar boy, Peter Robinson. With the Storm being one of the current powerhouses in the National Rugby League, we tapped into his knowledge around what makes their culture so strong.

Know your role, honour your role, do your role.

Each Wednesday, join me, Peter Finn, managing director of FACE Contracting, as I navigate the ups and downs of the mining industry with forward-thinking professionals from all walks of life. If you’re involved in the mining industry in any way – whether you’re a lifer or a high-school student looking to make the leap – Full Production is the podcast for you.

In part one of this episode we spoke about Pete’s journey to first grade rugby league, his curious nature and how it helps him build culture, and how that plays a part in his current role as the player welfare manager at the Storm.

We also discussed:

  •   How putting family first results in performance
  •   How learning about other cultures and backgrounds will bring you closer as a team
  •   A special induction program that the Storm employ for all new players
  •   Deep insight into what Craig Bellamy is like as a leader, and much more…
