Today we're exploring one of the most overlooked challenges in mergers and acquisitions - not systems integration, not organizational structures, and not even culture. But a turnover of your highest performers.One of the biggest risks in a merger is not losing poor performers - it's losing your best people. Research shows that highly skilled employees and managers are the most likely groups to leave after a merger because uncertainty about their future, status, and career opportunities makes external options more attractive.A significant merger has just taken place. Within the first weeks and months you're starting to see your best people leave. The truth is while leaders have been focused on strategy, synergies, and culture integration , many of your best employees are asking a very different question:"What does this mean for me?"And if that question remains unanswered for too long, organisations often experience disengagement, declining productivity, an erosion of trust - and turnover.So today we'll unpack the psychology behind this phenomenon and explore how leadership coaching can help leaders guide people through uncertainty and toward a meaningful future.Rebecca, on asking yourself different questions as leader: "Mergers can result in high turnover of your best talent which often stems from uncertainty. Rather than focusing on tasks and productivity, your people are consumed with thoughts that question their identity in your new culture. They worry about their growth and if there will be opportunities for them moving forward.”Links:Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderSpeak to us about your leadership development objectivesRate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

What happens when the things you're naturally good at intersect with the things that give you energy?In this special episode of Transit Unplugged, Paul Comfort brings his new book, Find Your X Factor, to life through conversations with two leaders who found very different ways to turn their interests, abilities, and experiences into meaningful careers.First, Paul talks with Noah Berger, CEO of Merrimack Valley Transit, about the unlikely intersection of public transportation and the arts. Noah shares how his background as both a transit professional and an artist helped him rethink the rider experience—from brightly redesigned buses and murals to public spaces that feel more welcoming and connected to the communities they serve.But finding your X Factor isn't just about following your passions. Noah and Paul also discuss why mastering the less glamorous parts of the job—regulations, compliance, funding, and operations—builds the foundation and trust leaders need to eventually do things differently.Then, Rod Jones, Head of Modaxo Americas and ANZ, joins Paul to trace an X Factor that has followed him across industries: understanding complex systems and leading people through change. From growing up in Detroit and studying engineering to running manufacturing operations, working in private equity, and leading M&A (mergers & acquisitions) and operations at Modaxo, Rod explains how curiosity, problem-solving, communication became recurring threads throughout his career.Rod also offers a useful reminder for anyone still searching for their own X Factor: look for the things you naturally gravitate toward, the things other people consistently ask you for help with, and the abilities that may come so naturally that you don't even recognize them as strengths.And your X Factor isn't necessarily static. As Rod explains, it can evolve as you do.This is the first of two special Transit Unplugged podcast episodes featuring stories and lessons from Paul's new book, Find Your X Factor, alongside additional conversations coming to Transit Unplugged TV.In this episode:How Noah Berger combined his careers in transit and the artsWhy Merrimack Valley Transit used art, color, and design to change perceptions of public transportationWhy doing the "grunt work" can be essential to eventually doing your best workHow Rod Jones discovered a talent for understanding complex systems and leading people through changeWhy curiosity and problem-solving can transfer across industriesHow to recognize strengths you may be taking for grantedWhy your X Factor can change and evolve throughout your careerFind Your X Factor is available now. Paul will also be appearing at APTA EXPO (https://www.apta.com/event/apta-2026-transform-expo/)for book signings and special events.CreditsHost and Producer: Paul ComfortExecutive Producer: Julie GatesProducer: Chris O'KeeffeProduction Assistant: Desmond GatesEditor: Patrick EmileAssociate Producer: Cyndi RaskinBrand Design: Tina OlagundoyeProduction Assistant: Desmond GatesTransit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo, passionate about moving the world's people.For more information, visit: www.Transit Unplugged.comDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

ANZ's latest survey of hundreds of firms across the country suggests businesses think the worst has passed, even as global uncertainty persists. ANZ chief economist Sharon Zollner spoke to John Campbell.

Today we are talking about what leaders can do to foster deeper inclusion and empower Asian women in their teams.My guest today is Natalie Wong, an experienced HR professional with 25 years experience with a passion for seeing more Asian women progress in their careers.Natalie is sharing practical advice to outline how may women are juggling multiple identities at once at work and the impact that can have on them, whether those identities are about ethnicity, gender, or otherwise. We are talking a lot about the default communication styles of many Asian women and some practical ways leaders can support women of Asian descent to progress more rapidly, such as:Helping people promote their impactListening to understand, rather than listening to replyAnd looking out for affinity bias in recruitmentNatalie, on leading with a DEI lens: "It's important to have a diverse perspective and that can be challenging when other leaders don't have that lived experience too. Sponsorship, mentoring and allyship are all really powerful in supporting Asian women to succeed in their careers. And that includes understanding their values and cultural background and what might be holding them back from voicing their concerns." Links:Connect with Natalie Wong on Linkedin Connect with Rebecca Allen on LinkedinGet a copy of Rebecca's guide, 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact Leader Rate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

Heuschrecken, Finanzhaie, Zocker in Anzügen – kaum eine Anlageklasse wird mit so starken Bildern belegt wie Hedgefonds. Für die einen sind sie skrupellose Krisengewinner, für die anderen wichtige Marktteilnehmer, die Fehlbewertungen aufdecken und Risiken sichtbar machen. Doch was steckt wirklich hinter dem Mythos Hedgefonds: gefährliche Räuber des Finanzmarkts oder doch eher unbequeme Marktoptimierer? Und kann ich als Anleger von ihrem Schaffen profitieren? Das klärt Falko Block, Anlage-Stratege im Bereich Privatkunden-Sales im Gespräch mit Emilea Reimann, ehemalige Werkstudentin bei der DZ Bank AG.

In Episode 449 of DisrupTV, hosts Vala Afshar and R "Ray" Wang bring together three thinkers whose work spans the enterprise and the individual, the organizational and the deeply human — and who arrive at the same essential warning: AI is not a tool to be deployed. It is a force that will reshape how companies create value and how humans think, whether we are intentional about it or not. Brian Solis and Dave Wright, co-authors of Infinite and leaders at ServiceNow, make the case that most enterprises are caught in the iteration trap — automating the past instead of building the future. They explain why CEOs must start with why rather than how, why the number one driver of AI ROI is reimagining end-to-end workflows rather than layering AI onto existing ones, and why the real transformation is relational and organizational — from org charts to work charts, from ROI to Return on Intelligence. They bring it to life through IKEA's one-billion-euro pivot from cost-cutting to revenue creation, the ANZ bank story of reclaiming 600 FTEs worth of hidden capacity, and a clear-eyed look at the governance challenges of multi-agent systems. John Nosta, one of the world's leading innovation theorists, shifts the lens from the enterprise to the individual. His concept of anti-intelligence challenges the assumption that AI is a smarter version of human thinking — human cognition and AI computation are orthogonal, not parallel. He introduces the distinction between iterative intelligence (using AI to deepen thinking) and cognitive surrender (using AI to replace it), shares clinical research on AI rebound showing that extended AI use can erode the skills it was meant to support, and proposes Activities of Daily Thinking as the human practice we may need to protect most urgently in an age that makes thinking optional. Together, they sketch a coherent arc from the enterprise to the individual: AI demands reinvention at every level — of business models, of workflows, and of how we relate to our own minds.

There's a lot of noise around banks in this country, but results speak for themselves. If I had a dollar for every time a politician said there's no competition in the banking sector, that they're price-gouging tyrants, I'd be richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos put together. But let's take a closer look, shall we? Kiwibank reported annual profit was down 9% yesterday. Why? Their interest margins were down. That's the difference between the revenue they make from charging us interest on loans and the cost of paying us interest on our savings. Why did this happen? According to the CEO, in part, competition. Steve Jurkovich told interest.co.nz that ANZ was aggressively offering cashbacks of up to 1.5% to steal customers. He said, quote, "that was very competitive". What that means for us, customers, is that banks are fighting for our business. Aggressively. It means we get deals and cashback and more competitive rates. Does this sound like a Sicilian mafia, a cartel, an oligopoly on steroids? No. What it tells you is that there is competition. We have 27 registered banks in this country to choose from. There is a but – the big four are Aussie-owned and control 80-odd percent of the market. They have access to more capital, deeper pockets, and can steam-roll challengers. So how do we solve that problem? Winston says re-nationalise BNZ, which is the nuclear option the state can't afford. The answer lies, again in the results, which show Kiwibank is forgoing margins to grow share. Its home loan market was up from 8% to 11% on last year. It's benefiting from changes to capital requirements and a capital raise. Next will, surely, come mergers. TSB anyone? The other thing it could use, of course, is more customers. And that choice, that power, is on our hands, should we choose to use it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The investor pullback is showing up in the numbers, but are borrowers actually walking away? NAB, ANZ, and CBA have all released their latest results, with declines in mortgage applications and investor activity pointing to a softer lending market, while CBA continues to report growth in broker-originated lending. Broker Daily's Julian Barnes is joined by Finni brokers Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos to unpack what is keeping investors on the sidelines, from servicing constraints and rates to changing lender policies. The team also digs into the growing impact of AI on brokers, alongside fully assessed pre-approvals, rental income shading, and the rise of bridging finance.

Productivity, competence and trust are all intertwined And today, we are exploring how essential it is for a leader to identify where people are strong, rather than to assume they will fail.It is easy to slip into negative habits that erode trust in the team. Habits such as:Excluding people from decision makingTalking over themNot delegating and micromanagingDelegating only low-impact tasksTelling people how to do thingsAssuming they will fail or make a mess of thingsToday we are taking a step back and looking at the power of the question:"How is this person smart?" *Thus identifying the strengths of your team and then playing to them.* A question posed by Liz Wiseman in her book, MultipliersRebecca, on building trust in the team: "When you assume someone is capable on your team, you help them focus. They are not distracted, worrying about how they will be perceived or if their work is valuable and valued - they simply get on with the task and are highly productive."Links:Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderVisit Rebecca's website and develop your leaders and teamsConnect with Rebecca on LinkedinRate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

One of our most interesting podcasts yet! Cameron Bagrie, former Chief Economist at ANZ and now Managing Director of Bagrie Economics, joins Matt and Wade in this episode to discuss some of the most important strategic factors that New Zealand agriculture will face in the short- to medium-term. Cameron unpacks the global and local forces reshaping New Zealand's economy, from geopolitics and trade through to energy security, productivity, and inflation. The conversation explores why the rules that have guided growth in recent decades are changing and what that means for farmers, agribusinesses, and rural communities. The team discuss why Cameron believes the rural sector is leading New Zealand's economic recovery and what needs to happen to maintain that momentum. They explore the importance of reducing energy costs, continuing to invest in infrastructure, and ultimately increasing productivity, while also creating an environment that encourages the next generation to take and manage risk. 

With inflation target timelines pushed out to 2028, hopes for interest rate reductions any time soon are dwindling – but some lenders are already dropping rates out of cycle.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 11 AUGUST 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 10 August ↑ WHAT’S UP — The S&P 500 hit a new record close to finish the week up 3.6%, the Nasdaq up 5.2% in its best week since May, and the ASX 200 climbing 3.2% to its own new record. Strong corporate earnings helped power the rally: Palantir jumped 29.5% after 93% revenue growth, AMD posted record quarterly revenue of US$11.5 billion, and SpaceX surged around 23% on its first public results. ↓ WHAT’S DOWN — ResMed shares fell after a mixed underlying result. Oil was choppy, falling initially on hopes of a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, only to climb later in the week as Iran moved to restrict US and Israeli vessels. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — The US July jobs report shed 23,000 jobs against expectations to gain around 80,000, even as the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. Markets read it as easing Fed pressure, cutting September rate-hike odds to 41% from 55%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — The RBA decides on Tuesday, with a hold at 4.35% expected, and US July CPI and PPI will test whether price pressures are easing after the oil run-up. Reporting season continues with RocketLab, Cisco and Super Micro in the US, and CBA, ANZ, Westpac, QBE, IAG and Suncorp locally. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — Records across Wall Street and the ASX show a firmly risk-on market, powered by strong earnings and tentative signs of easing Middle East tensions. Appetite remains for the AI and growth trade, demonstrated by Palantir, AMD, and SpaceX. But unsettled oil prices and the impact of a soft US jobs print sit in the background as potential swing factors.

Unemployment's expected to increase, but it might not be all bad news for the economy. Many economists are expecting unemployment to increase from 5.3% to 5.5%. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner feels volatility due to things like the war in Iran is starting to fade. She told Mike Hosking businesses seem to be getting used to uncertainty – they're realising they can't wait for normal conditions and have to get on with it. Zollner says the recovery is happening, but it's a bit more stop-start than most would like. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!National property values recorded their fourth consecutive monthly drop in July, slipping -0.3% to extend the quarterly decline to -1.0%. On this week's episode of the New Zealand Property Market Podcast, Head of Research Nick Goodall and Chief Economist Kelvin Davidson unpack the latest Cotality Home Value Index (HVI) results. We explore the deepening North-South divide: while Auckland (-0.7% month) and Wellington (-0.8% month) continue to drag, Christchurch (+0.1%) and Dunedin (+0.2%) remain resilient, and Invercargill has surged to a new record median peak of $565,000 (+8.2% YoY).The guys also discuss a tongue-in-cheek LinkedIn post by Westpac Senior Economist Satish Ranchhod, which highlighted a statistical correlation between per-capita cow populations and house price growth. We explain why strong agricultural export returns are buffering rural centres like Gore, Hurunui, and Mackenzie, while urban service-driven economies lag under high interest rates and pre-election policy uncertainty.Finally, we preview Wednesday's Q2 official labour market release following June's +0.1% filled jobs figure, evaluate why the unemployment rate could rise from 5.3% to 5.5% due to labour force expansion rather than mass layoffs, and review ANZ's July business confidence bounce.This week we discuss:July Home Value Index: Why national values fell -0.3% over the month and -1.0% over the quarter.The North-South Divide: Auckland and Wellington value softness versus Christchurch (+3.6% YoY) and Dunedin (+3.3% YoY).Invercargill's New Record: Why the southern city hit $565,000 alongside agricultural hubs Gore, Hurunui, and Mackenzie.Satish Ranchhod's Cow Post: How agricultural strength is directly supporting regional home values.Labour Market Preview: Why a forecast unemployment rise to 5.5% reflects a growing workforce rather than job destruction.Election Hesitation: How investor sentiment is cooling as buyers pause ahead of upcoming political tax debates.Listener Feedback: Addressing a Spotify comment on Christchurch suburb competition and the OCR path.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

Eine helle Büroküche. Eine Frau im Kostüm steht am Kopierer und seufzt. Zwei Männer im Hintergrund tragen Anzüge mit Schulterpolstern und bunte Krawatten, sie trinken Kaffee. Sprecher: "Ein harter Arbeitstag. Der Chef redet wieder ohne Pause. Der Kopierer streikt. Die Männer verstehen wieder nur Bahnhof. " Die Tür geht auf. Ein großer Mann und ein kleinerer, fast gleich aussehender Mann kommen herein. Der Große trägt ein tragbares Kofferradio, der Kleine eine Kassette. Frau: "Was ist das denn?" Der Kleinere: "Esel und Teddy." Der Größere: "Der Podcast für Frauen, die auch mal hören wollen, wie Männer wirklich denken." Die Frau legt die Kassette ein. Aus dem Radio hört man: Esel: Teddy, was ist der Unterschied zwischen einer Frau und einem Mann beim Einparken? Teddy: Herr Müller, überlegen Sie sich die Antwort jetzt sehr genau. Esel: Die Frau braucht drei Versuche. Der Mann auch. Aber er nennt es „Rangieren“. Die Frau lacht. Die beiden Männer im Hintergrund, die mit den hässlichen Krawatten, schauen irritiert herüber. Sprecher: "Esel und Teddy. Zwei Männer. Keine Antworten. Aber erstaunlich viele Meinungen." Die Frau nimmt das Radio unter den Arm und geht. Ein Mann im Hintegrund: "Und wer macht jetzt den Kaffee?" Sie dreht sich um. Frau: "Der, der ihn trinken will." Kurze Pause. Sprecher: "Esel und Teddy. Jetzt auf Kassette, CD und überall dort, wo moderne Frauen das Internet bedienen dürfen."

Southeast Asia's venture market is not in a downturn. It is in a structural winter, and mid-2026 is when that distinction stopped being academic. Kristie Neo returns to break down what is actually happening across the region: Singapore's IPO revival is real but is being carried by data centres and REITs rather than homegrown tech; allocators now rank Southeast Asia at the bottom of Asia behind China, India, Japan, Korea and ANZ; and a generation of growth-stage companies is being kept alive past the point where a merger or a wind-down would have served everyone better. Jeremy Au and Kristie also work through what could actually restart the funding ladder, from encouraging tech M&A and fixing university IP commercialisation, to tax incentives for angels and support for syndicate leads who can assemble the $1 million to $5 million rounds that Singapore currently cannot fill. If you are a founder raising in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand or Malaysia, or an LP trying to work out where capital goes next in Asia, this is the honest state of the market.

Most people think saffron is just a spice, but when you look closely, it's a surprisingly complex botanical with a real problem in modern supplements: the compounds you can smell, and feel are often the first ones you lose during processing. We sit down with biochemist and Active Inside co-founder Benoit “Ben” Lemaire to unpack why safranal (the signature aromatic molecule) is volatile, why many extracts struggle to retain it, and how Safr'Inside uses a traditional adsorption and encapsulation approach to protect the raw material's original profile.We also get practical about what “standardised” should mean. Ben explains why older UV methods mainly measure colour and can misrepresent “safranal”, and why UHPLC testing changes the game for quality control, consistency, and even adulteration detection. From there we explore the clinical implications: chronic stress studies versus the need for acute stress support, and the proposed roles of safranal and crocins across serotonin and dopamine pathways.Then we widen the lens to the gut-brain axis and published microbiome work (including Akkermansia and indole metabolites), plus where saffron research is heading next, like vision support in type 2 diabetes. If you care about evidence-based herbal medicine, stress supplements, and what actually matters in manufacturing, this chat gives you a clearer framework to assess saffron products.If you found this useful, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

In today's episode we are exploring the primary role of a team leader and I am sharing some of the coaching questions I might ask a leader to help them develop team capability.Today we're talking about a question every corporate leader eventually faces:“What is my primary role as a team leader?”Is it simply to deliver results?Is it to control outcomes?Or to take responsibility when things go wrong ?Or, is leadership actually about developing people so the team can consistently perform at a higher level and behave autonomously?This is what we are talking about today on the podcast - what the primary role of the leader truly is.I am also sharing 3 powerful coaching questions I might ask a leader, working with me for executive coaching, to help them develop team capability.Rebecca, on asking yourself different questions as leader: "A leader who only focuses on targets may get short-term performance - while a leader who develops capability builds long-term performance. The question shifts from: “How do I get this done?”, to “How do I help my team become capable, confident, accountable, and high performing?”Links:Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderBook a free 15 minute Career Strategy call with Rebecca to get your career off to a fresh start.

For two centuries, multinational enterprises (MNEs) have arrived in waves on Australia's shores. Highly visible and influential household names among them – Ford, IBM, Kodak, Electrolux, ANZ – but also many smaller, lesser-known enterprises. Foreign MNEs in Australia today account for almost half of our top 2,000 firms and control over A$1.4 trillion of assets. There is much we do not understand about these important institutions, why they chose to invest here, how they entered, and why some firms survived for long periods, while others exited. The history of MNEs, more than most topics, is inextricably connected to international experience. Across half a century of research, their history has emerged as a vibrant field of investigation in North America, Europe, and, increasingly, Asia. MNE activity in Australia, briefly referenced in some of these studies, formed an important part of the global presence of many firms. This is the first history of foreign MNEs in twentieth-century Australia, filling a major gap in the economic and business history literature of Australia and of the history of international business globally. It integrates the important and distinctive Australian experience with an extensive international and comparative scholarship on big business and MNEs.

As we hurtle towards election day - superannuation has once again become a red-hot issue. National will campaign to lift the age of eligibility - while other parties have firmly ruled out such an idea. Our superannuation problem isn't going away though, so is it time we have a proper conversation about means testing? Joining Emile to discuss is Miles Workman from ANZ.

Other banks are expected to follow suit as ANZ drops its mortgage rates from today. Its standard one-year fixed home loan rate's dropping by 14 basis points to 5.25%, while the two and three-year rates will be cut by 20 basis points. The move comes after Westpac cut its longer-term home loan rates last week. Loan Market CEO Bruce Patten told Mike Hosking banks are all a bit quiet at the moment. The mortgage advisor says they had a really busy period before Christmas and then the Iran war kicked off in February, so he thinks the move is an attempt to stir up business.

On this week's show, we wade through a big news cycle: the US-Iran peace deal that forced us to dump our oil stocks, the SpaceX IPO trading at a jaw-dropping 1,750 times PROPCAF while losing money, and the brief Korean stock market circuit breaker that felt a little too dotcom-era for comfort. Tony does a Pulled Pork on Suncorp Group, freshly returned to the buy list after divesting its banking arm to ANZ, and I run the numbers on the Dogs of the Dow versus QAV over five years.

The chief economist of our largest bank says there's no reason our economy can't bounce right back if the Iran peace deal lasts. GDP data due to today is expected to show the economy grew between 0.7% and 1% in the March quarter. A contraction is possible in the June quarter. But ANZ's Sharon Zollner told Mike Hosking things should hopefully pick up again, straight away. She says interest rates are high, and the world may remain weary for a while, but commodity prices are high and the Kiwi dollar is quite soft.

As one of Australia's top Speed Painters, she has lived and breathed the dynamic process of transformation for over 20 years, turning blank walls and cavasses into thought-provoking pieces of art, with limited time and often in front of a live audience. Merging her artistic talent with her passion for public speaking, Rowan has reimagined the role of the artist, pushing the boundaries of a studio-based pursuit into a trail-blazing performance genre that challenges the limitations of time and space.After graduating from Converse College in 2003 with a BFA in Studio Art, Rowan started an art business in Greenville, South Carolina, USA before moving to Sydney to expand her horizons. It was here that she used the process of creative futurism to overcome depression, challenge chronic illness and create a new future for herself and her family. No longer shackled by societal norms, she has stepped into the full power of her truth personally and professionally.Rowan's strong emotional storytelling, along with her ability to paint fast and think fast has captivated hundreds of clients like Nestlé, ANZ, AMP, Ernst & Young, Woolworths, Sydney Airport, and Priceline.
