The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Alright, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! We assembled The Chiefs for a timely pod to discuss campaigning while governing! Typically with The Chiefs, we discuss issues from the perspective of people who think about them NOT as campaigners do, i.e. what might be ideal in a political sense, but rather, what's possible to deliver in a governing sense.But because these guys are 3 of the best political minds in the country, and we're right in the middle of Campaign 45, I want to change it up a bit. We'll spend about half our time today talking about how each of them would be advising the various campaigns given the current state of play. And then, for Part 2, I want to cover how they'd deal with managing a PMO or leader's office in a campaign like this one with actual news in it, i.e. Trump. How do you function juggling campaigning and daily governing in challenging times? What's the relationship with the bureaucracy?You know them, three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC. Now … Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now ... the newly installed EVP and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta, Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan, one of the architects of Jack Layton's Orange Wave.

Character matters. In a year in which we’ve faced a global pandemic and growing unrest in pockets around the world, this has never been truer. But what is it and can it be developed? Dr. Gerard Seijts joins this episode of LeaderLab to explore the behaviours associated with leadership character and to offer concrete examples of how leaders can develop good character and embed it in their organizations. Based on research he’s been building since the 2008 financial crisis, Gerard shares the following insights on leadership character: Character is dispositional. It’s not based on your role on the job, rather it’s how you show up in the workplace. Character is defined by 11 dimensions: Judgement, transcendence, drive, collaboration, humanity, humility, integrity, temperance, justice, accountability and courage. Very few leaders get top marks in all dimensions. Instead, good character can be developed by continuously improving weaker areas. Covid-19 has not only revealed character in world leaders, but has demonstrated in real time how good character can produce good outcomes. Making time for reflection is important step in developing your leader character. There are specific actions organizations can take to develop character within their leaders and embed good character within teams – starting with integrating it specifically into their recruiting criteria. Learn more about the 11 dimensions of leadership character here: https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/leadership/research-resources/leader-character-framework/ Access more leadership research from Ivey’s Ian O.

Welcome to the 49th installment of the Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, a weekly podcast that brings you the most important business stories of the week from China's top source for business and financial news. Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week: We analyze internet company Sina's plan to launch a secondary listing in Hong Kong. We note that U.S. electric car startup Tesla has received tentative approval from the Shanghai government to manufacture cars in the city. We learn that the Trump administration has reached a deal to put Chinese telecommunications company ZTE back in business. We discuss that China may scrap or scale back proposals to ban the online sale of prescription medicines after two drafts of the plan garnered strong opposition. We discover that American dating platform Seeking Arrangement is expected to hit regulatory obstacles in China after achieving rapid popularity. We hear that China said it cannot explain what happened to an American citizen working at a U.S. consulate who reported suffering from abnormal sounds and pressure leading to a mild brain injury. We dive into the news that a man who was imprisoned for 25 years before having his conviction overturned is asking the Chinese government for $2.6 million in compensation. We find out that China's average flight delay soared 50 percent to 24 minutes in 2017. In addition, we talk with Doug Young, managing editor of Caixin Global, about three corporate stories regarding Aecon, Canada's largest publicly listed infrastructure builder, Chinese technology giant Foxconn, and American retail company Costco. We'd love to hear your feedback on this product. Please send any comments and suggestions to sinica@supchina.com.
