Show notes

Welcome to another episode of Maintenance Untangled! In this episode, Ricky and Derick are joined once again by Roger Pengelley, founder of Undercover Mentor, for a practical and honest conversation on safety, leadership, and building high‑performing teams. In this episode: We begin with a strong focus on safety and leadership fundamentals, discussing how the way a leader runs their pre‑start or pre‑shift meeting can directly influence safety, performance, and team mindset. Roger shares real-world observations on what separates effective leaders from those who struggle to set their team up for success. The conversation then dives into leadership development, routines for new leaders, and how setting clear standards early makes tough conversations easier down the track. Roger walks through practical examples from his work coaching leaders across mining and industry, highlighting why structure, consistency, and energy matter more than authority. We also explore Roger’s work through Undercover Mentor, including his leadership toolbox, why traditional leadership training often fails to stick, and how leaders can grow without being pulled out of operations for weeks at a time. 👉 Subscribe for more episodes on maintenance strategies, safety, and leadership development. 👍 Like this episode?
