Far more than a conversation about pay structures, this is a masterclass in understanding what truly drives people, builds trust, and shapes culture inside resource companies. Allan unpacks why mining remuneration is fundamentally different from every other industry, how poorly designed incentive plans can quietly destroy a culture, and why the difference between an incentive and a retention plan matters far more than most boards realise. He also shares refreshingly candid reflections on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and what it really takes to show up well as a consultant and as a leader. Whether you work in mining, people management, or any business where relationships are the currency, there's something here for you. # Allan Feinberg 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/allan-feinberg/ David Beilby 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbeilby/ Alana Bray-White 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-bray-white-8b4478219/ ivy & gecko 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/company/ivy-gecko Timecodes: (00:00) Preview & Highlights (01:00) Welcome introducing Allan Feinberg (01:45) Early life: growing up in Johannesburg & moving to Perth (06:50) The red tractor dream something not many people know about Allan (09:05) What Allan loves about working in the mining industry (10:40) Leaving Hay Group to start Remsmart (12:15) Launching during the 2008 crash (13:30) Why mining remuneration is unlike any other industry (17:20) The non-negotiable qualities of great leadership (19:50) How to build trust with clie…","meta_description":"In this episode of Hearts & Mines, David sits down with Allan Feinberg, MD of Remsmart, a remuneration and reward strategy consultant with more than 2…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2798,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/hearts-mines-7053309/episodes/the-remuneration-specialist-mining-pay-structures-are-breaking-how-to-fix-them-allan-feinberg/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hearts-mines-7053309/the-remuneration-specialist-mining-pay-structures-are-breaking-how-to-fix-them-allan-feinberg.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
