Agriculture is leading the way as the country's top performing industry. Xero's latest Insights report shows consistent under-performance in New Zealand's small business sector in the past year, with sales falling by 0.1% in the June quarter. Country manager Bridget Snelling told Mike Hosking sectors that are more sensitive to consumer spending and interest rates are being hit hardest. She says construction is down 6.4%, retail is holding flat, and hospitality is down 2.1%, so it's tough conditions for small businesses. However, sales in the month of June rose 4.4%, the strongest monthly increase since April 2024. Snelling says we're in an unstable global economic situation, and people are not feeling confident to spend as they may have done in a more prosperous economic time.

“In Japan, if you want performance, you need ultra-clear expectations—people need to know the goal.” “Building trust means creating a safe environment where it's okay to make mistakes.” “Consensus-building is not optional in Japan—it's how decisions gain traction.” “Every new joiner has lunch with me and a one-on-one at three months—connection matters.” “Leading is about inspiring, guiding, and empowering people toward a common purpose.” Previously Duncan was Executive Director-Head of Asia Hamlyn Willams; Country Manager, Robert Walters, Korea; Associate Director, Commerce Finance, Robert Walters Japan; Sales Consultant deVere and Partners.  He has a BA from the University of East Anglia. Duncan leads with a style that emphasizes clarity, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity, shaped by years of cross-cultural experience. His leadership approach in Japan is grounded in providing clear expectations and maintaining transparency. He recognizes that Japanese team members particularly value knowing exactly what success looks like, so he places a premium on setting ultra-clear goals and regularly celebrating achievements. Monthly gatherings that spotlight individual and team successes help reinforce collective motivation and performance. He builds trust by being approachable and relational. Every new hire is welcomed with a personal lunch on their first day, and after three months, each has a one-on-one coffee chat with him to reflect on their experience. Even in a 60-person organization, he maintains these touchpoints to foster an open culture and reinforce that leadership is accessible. Duncan also leads training sessions himself, using these opportunities to share personal stories of past challenges, signaling humility and building rapport. Understanding Japan's consensus-driven culture, Duncan avoids top-down decision-making. Instead, he practices “nemawashi,” engaging associate directors, managers, and often broader teams before implementing changes. This ensures decisions are well-received and supported. He contrasts this approach with his leadership experiences in China, where decisions were expected to come unilaterally from the top, and Korea, which he found to be more individually driven. Encouraging innovation and open communication is another hallmark of Duncan's leadership. To surface ideas, he established anonymous suggestion boxes and encourages feedback during regular check-ins. He emphasizes psychological safety, particularly when discussing mistakes or failed innovations. Creating an environment where it's safe to fail is, in his view, essential to fostering creativity and long-term growth. He also sees training as a core responsibility. New employees follow a structured two-month onboarding program, led by a combination of managers, HR, and himself. Observational learning is built in, with new staff shadowing client and candidate meetings across teams. His goal is not only skill-building but also early immersion into the company's values and standards. Duncan is deeply attuned to cultural and demographic shifts. He's pragmatic about Japan's aging and shrinking workforce and the limited pool of bilingual professionals. Rather than resist these constraints, he adapts by hiring internationally minded Japanese staff and experienced recruiters from other firms, and by setting realistic expectations for new leaders entering the Japanese market. His definition of leadership centers on inspiring, guiding, and empowering people toward a shared goal. He believes that leaders must earn trust and encourage followership—not through command, but through empathy, clarity, and inclusion. For foreign leaders new to Japan, his advice is to avoid trying to impose outside systems without first understanding the local context, to invest time in building trust and communication channels, and to respect the nuance behind why things are done a certain way. In Duncan's experience, leading in Japan requires humility, patience, and a commitment to listen before acting.

In this episode, we're joined by Brad Crammond — a farmer near Austin, Manitoba, with a unique background as a former agronomist and retailer. Brad brings a well-rounded perspective on KWS Hybrid Rye, sharing firsthand insights from the field and from the advisory side of the business. From Agronomist to Full-Time Farmer Brad kicks things off by reflecting on what initially drew him to rye, and how his first experience with hybrid rye was a game-changer — delivering a 30 bushel per acre yield boost that caught his attention and changed the way he viewed the crop's potential. Going All-In on Hybrid Rye We explore why Brad has now committed fully to hybrid rye. It's not just about yield — Brad explains how agronomics, harvest timing, weed suppression, and marketing flexibility all factored into his decision to expand acres. Regrets and Resilience Brad shares a moment of hindsight after last fall's rye harvest, where he wished he had kept more acres. We dig into what stood out about that crop — from winter survivability to spring vigor and overall crop resilience. Advice from a Farmer & Agronomist To wrap things up, Brad offers practical, farmer-to-farmer advice for anyone still on the fence about trying hybrid rye. Drawing from both his hands-on experience and years of crop advising, he highlights what to consider when evaluating this crop for your farm. Whether you're new to rye or looking to push your yields higher, this episode is packed with field-proven insight and actionable advice. Tune in now to hear Brad's full story and why he believes hybrid rye has earned a permanent place in his crop rotation. Thanks for tuning, Tracy

El Country Manager de Trade Republic para España y Portugal, Antón Díez Tubet nos ayuda a comprender la fórmula del interés compuesto y los dividendos Esta semana en Tu Dinero Nunca Duerme nos visita Antón Díez Tubet, el Country Manager de Trade Republic para España y Portugal que está precisamente de enhorabuena porque ha estrenado IBAN español, ha alcanzado el millón de clientes en España y, además, ha incorporado los fondos de inversión del as primeras gestoras del mundo dentro de su oferta de productos. Sin embargo, acude a Tu Dinero Nunca Duerme para destacar los puntos principales de la guía de inversión que su compañía suele compartir con los clientes que no están familiarizados con la inversión. "Todo el mundo debería invertir. Nos permite que nuestro ahorro no se vea disminuido por el impacto de la inflación. La idea es explicar desde el principio por qué hay que invertir". Y dentro de esa guía, una verdad universal: "Primer punto, piensa que vas a vivir mucho tiempo", por eso es necesario tener ahorro complementario para cuando no tengamos rentas del trabajo. "Para el ahorro complementario a las pensiones públicas debemos hacer el ejercicio de pensar en cuánto podemos vivir. Por ejemplo, el 73% de las mujeres españolas va a vivir más de 85 años. En un matrimonio, que al menos viva uno de los dos más de 85 años: le pasará a más del 90%", decía Antón. "Hay que aprovechar el poder de los dividendos y del interés compuesto. 10.000 dólares a 30 años en el S&P 500 sin reinvertir diviendos se convertían en unos 124.000 euros; con reinversión de dividendos, serían casi el doble", advertía. Además, Antón Díez Tubet insistía en que hay que elminar el ruido del corto plazo para obtener buenos resultados y ponía el ejemplo de la bolsa americana donde "los momentos de mayor pesimismo de los últimos cincuenta años son los que han ofrecido una mejor rentabilidad en los siguientes doce meses".

The conversation also covers broader industry trends, including the growing role of AI in commerce, such as Google's new shopping agent and Visa's own intelligent commerce initiative. Jos shares insights on the maturing crypto space, including Visa's stablecoin initiatives and Coinbase's commendable response to a recent data breach. They examine the rise of stablecoins, the impact of EU regulation like MiCA, and the potential for blockchain-based infrastructure to transform payments. The episode also highlights the importance of digital wallets, Europe's push for greater payment sovereignty, and Visa's vast global money movement network. Both guests look ahead to Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam, where the industry will gather to shape fintech's future.

  “If you want to impact people, first, you need to trust them—and then give them space.” “You forget about collective decision-making in Japan—you build consensus privately, one by one.” “The best execution comes from ideas people believe are their own.” “I listen first. Then I discuss. Then I decide. But always, I listen first.” “Leadership is not about being the hero—it's about helping the team become the heroes together.” Previously for Societe Generale, Bruno was Head of Risk on Capital Market Activities and ALM, Co-Head of Market Risk, Risk Assessor on Capital Market Activities; Head of Market Risk for Natixis, Head of Market Risk on Capital Market Activities ENGIE, Head of Market Risk On Credit Derivatives Credit Agricole CIB; Head of UK Market Risk for LCL. Bruno emphasizes that trust is the foundation of leadership—both giving it and earning it. He believes in creating space for team members to voice their ideas, as people are most committed when implementing their own suggestions. When he arrived in Japan, he made it a priority to listen first. Recognizing that he was new to the local context, he relied heavily on the insights of his team, who had decades of experience. His role, as he sees it, is to synthesize their ideas into a clear strategy, advocate for it at headquarters, and ensure it gets the green light. He highlights the cultural difference in decision-making between France and Japan. In France, decisions emerge through open challenge and brainstorming. In Japan, consensus must be built privately through one-on-one discussions before any meeting. He adopted this approach, understanding that Japanese professionals are less likely to speak up in group forums but are open and candid in private. These individual conversations are time-consuming but essential for building alignment and trust. Bruno also sees leadership as deeply tied to authenticity and leading by example. His background in risk management taught him that courage—especially the courage to stand up for what's right, even against pressure—is critical. His teams observe whether he is willing to defend their ideas and protect their interests. That credibility is what earns their loyalty. He's learned that new ideas are more likely to succeed when they come from the team, not top-down. Japanese staff often hesitate to share ideas if early feedback is lukewarm, so Bruno takes care to signal encouragement and patience, giving them time and space to think creatively. When they do, the results are powerful—his team's strategic proposal was not only approved by Paris but became the only strategic initiative for Japan in the region. Bruno's approach is to listen deeply, guide gently, champion ideas effectively, and push for change when it makes sense locally. He believes culture is not something to impose, but to live consistently. By modelling respect, patience, courage, and transparency, he creates an environment where trust grows and leadership becomes a shared endeavour. He calls this collective success—not about being the hero himself, but about helping the team become successful.

Liderar vai muito além de tomar decisões ou ocupar um cargo de gestão. Liderança de verdade envolve influenciar pessoas, inspirar times e criar ambientes onde todos possam crescer. É sobre clareza de propósito, coragem para enfrentar o desconforto e generosidade para desenvolver os outros. E por trás de grandes negócios, quase sempre encontramos líderes que aprenderam a escutar, errar, repensar e, acima de tudo, sustentar a visão mesmo quando o caminho é incerto.No episódio de hoje conversamos com Paulo Antunes que é Country Manager da rede Fogo de Chão.

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.

Trong thời đại thương mại điện tử phát triển mạnh mẽ, ngành bán lẻ đang trở thành một "cuộc chơi" khốc liệt của chiến lược giảm giá, khuyến mãi và quà tặng. Đây là con đường tăng trưởng quen thuộc của các thương hiệu tiêu dùng nhanh (FMCG) hoặc những nhãn hàng đại chúng (Mass Brand) – vốn đánh mạnh vào tâm lý "muốn nhiều, giá tốt" của người tiêu dùng. Ở một thái cực khác, các thương hiệu cao cấp (Luxury Brand) lại chọn cách tiếp cận kín đáo, chỉ cần hình ảnh đẹp, một chút lan truyền đúng thời điểm là đã đủ tạo nên sức hút.Vậy còn các thương hiệu tầm trung (Middle Brand) – những nhãn hàng có mức giá trung bình từ 1 đến 3 triệu đồng – sẽ làm gì để tồn tại và phát triển? Không đủ rẻ để chạy theo số lượng, cũng chưa đủ cao cấp để định vị bằng đẳng cấp, đâu sẽ là chiến lược thích hợp cho họ trong kỷ nguyên số đầy cạnh tranh này?Để tìm lời giải cho những câu hỏi trên, mời bạn cùng lắng nghe những chia sẻ sâu sắc từ anh Hoàng Minh Tuấn Huy – Country Manager tại Tanachira Vietnam, nhà lãnh đạo với gần hai thập kỷ kinh nghiệm trong ngành thời trang và bán lẻ – trong tập 28 của podcast Vietnam Innovators Tiếng Việt.—Đừng quên có thể xem bản video của podcast này tại: YouTubeVà đọc những bài viết thú vị tại: https://vietcetera.com/vn/bo-suu-tap/vietnam-innovator—Yêu thích tập podcast này, bạn có thể donate tại:● Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/vietcetera● Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vietceteraNếu có bất cứ góp ý, phản hồi hay mong muốn hợp tác, bạn có thể gửi email về địa chỉ hello@vietnaminnovators.com#Vietnam_Innovators_Digest #VI #Vietcetera_Podcast #VNI_VI_S6_28
