Previously, Rose worked for Pernod Ricard Japan as a Brand Manager for Ki No Bi and White Spirits, Brand Manager for Jameson Irish Whiskey, and Wine Ambassador. Her earlier roles also included Sales Support Executive at iSeek Communications, Guest Relations at Tokyo Daiichi Hotel, and Guest Relations at Whitehorse Hotel. Rose holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Wollongong. Drawing from her years of experience at Pernod Ricard and now as the representative of Wine Australia, she emphasizes the importance of trust, consensus-building, cultural adaptation, and clarity of purpose. One of her key insights is that successful leadership in Japan depends less on hierarchy and more on alignment. Building consensus among diverse stakeholders—importers, state offices, and trade partners—requires time, patience, and careful listening. She advocates for deep preparation, active curiosity, and a willingness to ask questions without judgment in order to fully understand local expectations and dynamics. By gathering feedback and adjusting plans collaboratively, she has been able to lead without formal authority and still earn commitment. Trust is foundational. Rose builds it through consistency, transparency, and follow-through. She notes that while expat leaders may be under pressure from headquarters to move quickly, speed is often perceived as risky in Japan. Thus, she emphasizes defining clear goals and then creating an environment where people feel safe contributing and experimenting—mitigating risk rather than avoiding it. She sees the leader's role as owning the risk and setting the conditions for safe innovation. Rose also stresses that Japanese language skills are advantageous for breaking down communication barriers and signalling commitment. However, she acknowledges that fluency isn't a requirement for every role—openness and cultural sensitivity can go a long way. She describes how even small actions, like proper greetings and showing bilingual flexibility, help build rapport and credibility. Her leadership philosophy centres on mutual respect. At Pernod Ricard, she managed small multicultural teams by identifying individuals' strengths and aligning them with strategic goals. She believes in tailoring support based on each person's aspirations—whether they're short-term visitors or long-term residents. Rose has also navigated challenges as a young, non-Japanese female leader. She counters potential bias with competence, clarity, and professionalism, ensuring she is always well-prepared and direct in communication. She stresses the value of local mentors and networks—like Austrade and Australian embassy contacts—for problem-solving and cultural insight. Ultimately, her definition of leadership is grounded in mutual respect, trust, and shared accountability. She underscores that leading in Japan is less about authority and more about connection, consistency, and cultural fluency.

It was a big affair.  The entire Shinsei Bank retail staff were assembled for a series of updates from the Division Heads on what each Division was doing and where they were going.  One of my erstwhile lifelong banker colleague Division Head gave his presentation.  It was dull, monotone, low energy and not engaging in the least.  Unfortunately for him, it was my turn next.  By this time, thanks to my previous work as a Senior Trade Commissioner and Consul-General for Australia,  I had given hundreds of public speeches, mainly in Japanese, to audiences of all different stripes in Japan. I knew how to give this talk in a way which would be interesting for the audience and in a way in which I could grab their attention.  My sharp elbowed colleague instantly recognised there were light years between his miserable efforts and my professionalism.  Did he commit to self-improvement, to build the biggest skyscraper in town, to become excellent in public speaking?  No.  He sought out ways to pull down all the other skyscrapers, so that his could be the tallest instead.  He informed all in earshot, except for me of course, that “Greg is all style and no substance”.  When this comment was duly reported to me, honestly, I just burst our laughing.  Not in an exaggerated thespian, ironic way, but a genuine belly laugh, because the idea was so ridiculous, so preposterous, so revealing about his insecurities.  I had given enough public speeches by that time to know it wasn't just style that was engaging my audiences.  What was ironic was that originally I was scouted to leave Austrade and join Shinsei's Retail Bank, because of a speech I gave to the American Chamber of Commerce here in Tokyo.  In fact, that speech changed the direction of my career, although I didn't realise it at the time. Recently, I was reading an article by Kathryn Brownell in the Financial Times, where she referenced the first televised debate between Kennedy and Nixon in 1960.  Nixon didn't understand the medium of television as well as Kennedy.  Kennedy saw the opportunity to speak directly to voters, rather than just relying on highlighting policy differences. I recall some reports I have come across at different times, which said that those who only listened to the debate, gave it to Nixon, while those who watched, gave it to Kennedy. Nixon certainly made the complaint that the televised debate format brought in a new era where “politicians focused on style over substance”.  It was a dividing line between eras and the future belonged to those who mastered the skills needed to be successful with the new medium. Kamala Harris killed Donald Trump in the recent debate and that wasn't just style and no substance.  She was extremely well prepared and brought all guns blazing to what Trump thought was going to be a knife fight. So what about businesspeople presenting here in Tokyo?  I recall coaching a Japanese President who forsook the opportunity to do a professional speech, because he felt his vendor audience wouldn't be ready for it.  He knew what to do but chose to not do it. That was highly perplexing to me as his coach, but standing out in Japan is never a popular course of action. He just gave the same old boring monotone performance, because that was the norm for his company and industry. It was painful for me to watch and know what he could have done instead. I saw another local businessperson give a very good performance, as he was a skilled presenter.  However, when I sat back and thought about what he was saying, as opposed to just being mesmerised by how he was saying it, I felt there wasn't much meat in that speech.  Before Covid, I saw Shigeru Ishiba, a Liberal Democratic Party hopeful, currently  trying to secure the Party Presidency and thereby become Prime Minister, give a talk as part of a panel discussion. He was slumped in his chair, looking bored and his comments were lifeless, monotone and dull.  However, when I closed my eyes and listened to what he was actually saying, it had more impact. If he wants to run this country, I hope he has improved as a communicator since then. It is obviously not a choice between style and substance.  We need both, and I want to replace the word “style” with “professionalism”, to make the point clearer.  Talking crap fluently is no help and neither is being valuable, but not being heard.  The big difference between Harris and Trump, I believe, was in their understanding of the occasion and the preparation for it.  This is precisely the same for us in business.  If we spend all of our time crafting the slide deck and none on the rehearsal, then our talk will not be optimised. Observe any public talks today and even the good speakers face some people in the crowd who have whipped out their phones and are no longer concentrating on what is being said.  Having great content, which is ignored by the audience, because we are unskilled and so boring is no better than turning up with weak content.  We fail to have any impact.  Let's wrap our numbers up in stories, so that people can remember them. Let's work on our professional delivery skills, so that we can keep the listeners with us, from start to end. Let's defeat the mobile phone, as the escape alternative to what we are saying.  By the way, it will only get worse. We have no time to lose to improve our communication capability.

Aussies are a casual people.  They prefer informality and being chilled, to stiff interactions in business or otherwise.  They can't handle silence and always feel the need to inject something to break the tension.  Imagine the cultural divide when they are trying to sell to Japanese buyers.  Japan is a country which loves formality, ceremony, uniforms, silence and seriousness.  Two worlds collide in commerce when these buyers and sellers meet.  My job, when I worked for Austrade in Japan, was to connect Aussie sellers with Japanese buyers.  I would find the buyers and then try to find the Aussie suppliers.  I noticed some distinct cultural differences in the sales process. It was always better when the Japanese buyers didn't speak English.  This stripped out the ability of the Aussies to directly communicate with the Japanese buyers.  You would think that was a disadvantage, but in fact it was the saviour in a lot of cases.  Unable to access their own language in direct communication with the Japanese buyer, they were forced to give up on some mainstream linguistic idiosyncrasies of Aussie interactions. Formality is a given in business in Japan and when, as the seller, you are forced to communicate through an interpreter, you are reduced to a staccato flow of thoughts and ideas.  There is a delay in the communication and the Aussies had to sit there and wait to hear what the buyer said. They were forced into a more formal style of interaction which prevented them from free styling.  This was good, because the Japanese buyers prefer the more formal approach. When the buyers could speak some English, the Aussies ran riot.  They were freed from the chains of formality and immediately lapsed into casual interactions, with which they felt more comfortable.  Humour is a big part of the Aussie male culture and they bring it with them wherever they go, including to the very much stiffer, buttoned up Japanese business world. The problem is you have to be another Aussie to get in sync with the humour.  Self-depreciation is part of Japanese culture too and here it is more about being humble rather than putting yourself down.  Aussies are also pretty humble people and self-depreciation is a male signal to other males that you are not trying to get above everyone else and that we are all equal.  This reaction against the English class system in Australia has made fairness and equality basic building blocks of the culture down under. The problem is self-depreciation is very hard to translate.  When we speak foreign languages, we are constantly translating what is being said in the other language into our own.  Japanese buyers always had trouble trying to get the point of the self-depreciative attempts at humour by the Aussies.  When it bombed, did the Aussies regroup and go in a different direction?  No.  They just doubled down harder to try to make the point, which meant they just kept digging a deeper hole for themselves.  Hint to the wise, when selling in Japan be humble, but don't make self-depreciative remarks about yourself – it won't land the way you want it to land. Sardonic humour is a close cousin to the self-depreciative remarks.  We Aussies got this from the English, because they love sardonic humour too.  Again, it is very hard to translate and for Japanese to understand.  Japanese communication is rather circular and vague. Sardonic humour is angular.  You make comments at an angle to what had been said and hit hard on that angle to make a dark point, which is witty. Japanese buyers are fabulous at never making a direct point if they can avoid it, so no angles to leverage off.  I notice this with my Japanese wife when I say something sardonic and it just goes absolutely nowhere.  They don't have that angle in their own language, so it is a hard one to grasp in a foreign language.  Hint number two: forget attempting sardonic humour, because only you will get the joke. Sarcasm is a close relative to the sardonic humour category. Aussie male culture means growing up under a constant barrage of sarcastic remarks and one-upmanship.  You have to learn how to be tough and take it and how to hand it out, to defend yourself.  The speed of the riposte and the lacerative edge to the comment are being judged as a sign of wit and intelligence.  No one gets sarcasm in Japan, in my experience.  Trust me, I have tried it many times, only to see it fall as flat as a pancake. Hint number three: remove all efforts at sarcasm with Japanese buyers, they simply will have no idea what you are talking about. Irony is another Aussie favourite in the humour stakes.  Like sarcasm, we males grow up navigating our way through ocean waves of irony smashing into us all the time.  It requires a very high level of understanding of the language and the cultural context.  Most Japanese buyers just don't have strong enough English to even get close to understanding the point of the ironic comment. There is also an edge, a sharp blade attached to the irony too, which is usually used to wound others in Aussie male culture.  Japan is about harmony and getting on together, so there is no need for irony in their culture, so it is a totally alien concept.  It sounds like a mean comment to a Japanese person and doesn't create a good impression.  Aussie males may salute the cleverness of the biting ironic comment and brush it off as a flesh wound when on the receiving end, because they have grown up with this verbal street fighting. However, for Japanese it doesn't come across well.  Hint number four: no ironic comments to the Japanese buyer because you will look like a mean, nasty person. If you want to be humorous, become a professional comedian.  If you want to sell something to Japanese buyers, be charming, nice, cooperative, considerate and honest.  You will do much better that way.

America celebrated Independence Day earlier this week, on the Fourth of July, so while the spotlight was on the US we thought it would be the perfect time to catch up with New York-based Adelaidean, Josh Pugh aka America Josh, to get a sense of the South Australian expat community in the Big Apple as well as reflect on some comparisons between life there and here. The SA Drink Of The Week is a gold medal wine, the Baroota Creek 2020 Cabernet Shiraz from Flinders Run. Watch this winery. I hear stories of people buying Penfolds Grange for quite low prices before it was famous, this has the potential to be one of those wines. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, Gerry Masi is back as part of Distractor Code. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of one segment?

He handed over control of his company, sold his house, sold his car, and even gave away his cat so his odyssey could begin. Luckily for him, things have fallen into place: He found a home, a wife, and a dog, all in a matter of a few short years. However, last month, another South Australian, Fairlie Delbridge, connected with Josh at the launch of the South Australia Club in NYC, and then connected Josh with The Adelaide Show. And, as fate would have it, we're having this chat with Josh while he still has South Australia's famous Mitani chicken salt in his system. America Josh How did you get Mitani chicken salt? Is there a list of items or places you miss? Food items, events like Fringe? Are there some things you are glad to have left behind? Tell us about the South Australia Club in NYC. The opening was attended by Stuart Nutting, who is Austrade's Regional Director South Australia Trade and Investment, along with Trade and Investment Minister, Nick Champion. If it is anything like the Adelaide Club, the only way you get in is if you're a pastoralist, an Anglican, or you share DNA with Alexander Downer? We have much to unpack but we need to start with your decision to leave Adelaide. If your life was truly "fantastic", why did you leave? You currently run open gatherings in Central Park. Why do you do that? Your website says you created America Josh to help people plan to move to or settle into New York. What is involved in getting a Green Card or residency? You mention you were attracted by the "buzz" of New York. Something we've long argued at The Adelaide Show is that you can have a miserable boring life here or in New York; most of it depends on how proactively you are engaging with life. Firstly, has the buzz faded like the initial burst of romance in a relationship? And, secondly, can you reflect on the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that have helped you feel settled? What was Fourth of July like? Fairlie Delbridge is a mover and shaker in SA but is spending a year studing at Harvard. How have your paths crossed? Cricket. Was watching the other day and remember you talking fondly of cricket. Commentators were talking about timers to keep games moving at pace and how baseball now has countdown times for pitchers. I must say, I watched some baseball. It is soooooo boring. Being there is okay but, just like golf, it's not made for tv. Your thoughts? Also, what do you think of the stumping in the Ashes? I get confused with cricket umpire Steve Davis and I notice there is an English comedian, Josh Pugh. Do you ever get mis-identified? Who will you vote for in the elections? The dangers of stalking guests is that I saw a picture of you as Mrs Doubtfire. Is that a regular habit? Final thoughts for people thinking of moving? And are you encouraging Americans to move here? 01:24:15 Musical Pilgrimage Our featured song this episode is This Town by Gerry Masi under the banner of Distractor Code; his collaboration with Paul White. It's all played on 80s synths with Gerry singing and, unlike the songs under his non de plume, Mad Dog Malcolm, there are no inappropriate lyrics!!! Given the US flavour if this episode, I should point out that This Town is not the classic Frank Sinatra song, nor is it Adelaide's version of New York New York, however, it puts Gerry's operatic power to good use and it broods with darkness and passion. For Josh, he'll note The Arts Theatre in the video cover image, below.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business strategist Ralph Evans not only helped build a boutique consultancy that actually merged and morphed into Boston Consulting Group in Australia, one of the world's largest & most respected management advice companies, but  Evans unwittingly turned into an entrepreneur! He went on to advise and invest in the management buyout of Aussie wine brand Orlando, which went on to make its investors a tidy bundle;  and he then turned around a rather moribund Austrade, Australia's official booster for Australian trade, by transforming it in the 1990's into an outward-looking, entrepreneurial organisation to help local companies seize the benefits of exports. Over the past few decades, Evans has been involved in Venture Capital and advised Venture Capital funds, and more recently he's turned his strategic analytical skills to the vexing issue he says is so urgent -- climate change. In a new book, called Toast, Evans builds a business case to persuade the community, as well as the sceptics and deniers he says, for why we must take far greater action on climate change.
