China fired a nuclear-capable missile into the South Pacific. Then its neighbours couldn't agree to condemn it. The missile came down in waters close to Tuvalu's exclusive economic zone a month before foreign ministers met at the Pacific Islands Forum in Suva, Fiji. Australia's Penny Wong and New Zealand's Winston Peters pushed for a joint statement. Nauru and Kiribati refused to sign even the weakest version. Both have taken Chinese money and built closer ties with Beijing, and it showed. China is pressing south in other ways too: a security deal with the Cook Islands, coast guard vessels probing deeper into the region, and a clear interest in the minerals under the seabed.Journalist Anna Fifield, who reported across Asia and the Middle East for the Washington Post and the Financial Times, asks whether Australia's much-praised Pacific reset is as solid as Canberra claims. She also takes on New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon surviving a second leadership challenge before the 7 November election, Vietnamese President To Lam's charm offensive in Australia and New Zealand, and Kim Jongn's apparent grooming of his teenage daughter to inherit North Korea. Hosts Geraldine Doogue and Hamish McDonald steer a tour of a neighbourhood that suddenly matters far more.Guest: Anna Fifield, Independent journalist and foreign affairs commentator.

Chris Luxon insists Chris Bishop and Erica Stanford played no part in the leadership challenge against him. MP Chris Penk was removed from Cabinet and has announced his retirement from politics, after leading an unsuccessful coup against Luxon. Both Bishop and Stanford have denied any involvement in the leadership challenge, or any interest in taking Luxon's job. Luxon says both Bishop and Stanford have given him assurances, both publicly and privately, and he believes them. He's confident Chris Penk was acting on his own.

Journalist. Podcaster. Network founder. Warren Shaw joins Kevin L. Warren to explain how 19 Media Group and The Baseline NBA Podcast were actually built — cold calls, credential hustles, and a COVID-era decision that changed everything.

It's Friday, which means Kate Hawkesby and Tim Wilson are back with Mike Hosking to Wrap the Week that Was. They discussed National's leadership challenge and the coup that wasn't, the podcasts covering 100 Years of ZB, and tonight's party celebrating the occasion.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has survived a second leadership challenge in months, telling reporters yesterday he is determined to get back to work and win the election. Ingrid Hipkiss spoke to Ben Thomas, who was press secretary to Chris Finlayson in the previous National Government, a columnist, and a director of public affairs firm Capital.

Liam Hehir is a National Party member and commentator and Janet Wilson was formerly the Chief Press Secretary to Todd Muller and Judith Collins. They joined Ingrid Hipkiss to discuss the fallout from Wednesday's emergency caucus meeting, including Chris Penk's announcement that he won't seek re-election.

Palmerston North-based lawyer, a National Party member and a former activist Liam Hehir joins Jesse to discuss the fallout from today's National caucus meeting.

Mark Mitchell is sorry about the whole situation the National party caucus found itself in. Christopher Luxon stared down yesterday's challenge to his leadership, coming from Chris Penk. He's paid the political price, being stripped of his portfolios, before announcing last night he won't run for re-election in November. Senior colleague Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking Penk's challenge was a surprise. He says he considers him a friend, and he hasn't had a chance to talk to him about what he was thinking. Mitchell says any speculation he was involved in a challenge is false – and he was sure Luxon's supporters were in a strong position. He says he was quietly confident they had the numbers and that people would realise there was no upside to a coup. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time's ticking for National to rebuild itself as a united front after putting Christopher Luxon's leadership to the test a second time. The Prime Minister survived a confidence vote launched by Chris Penk - at yesterday's three hour caucus meeting in Wellington. He's now dumped Penk from his ministerial portfolios and the former Defence Minister has announced he'll quit politics in November. Political Commentator Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking Luxon should be commended for surviving the challenge, but a third one would be a stretch too far. He says this has to be the end of it through to the election, and all the sentiments about the party being “100% united” have to be demonstrated if National's to come through this unscathed. Dunne was sceptical of the idea that Penk had launched the challenge to put himself forward for the job, saying he felt it was "a bit far-fetched", and that Penk was more likely testing the waters for others, namely Chris Bishop and Erica Stanford. "I don't think he necessarily was actively working with Bishop and Stanford, although he was clearly touting their cases," Dunne told Hosking. "[Luxon] can't really run a credible government without those two, so they have to be there, they have to be [kept] in senior roles, and they have to be seen to be treated as senior ministers."

Chris Luxon's held on as Prime Minister and National leader, but there's likely to be fallout from the party's recent turmoil. Luxon's leadership was put to a vote during a near three-hour caucus meeting in Wellington this morning. It followed murmurings about a potential coup - with some MPs signalling they wanted Luxon out of the top job. Former National Minister Maurice Williamson says these events were still 'damaging' for the current Government. "This was just the worst possible thing to be happening to National at this time...he couldn't have left it as business as usual." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most organizations aren't struggling with AI because of the technology. They're struggling because people don't change as quickly as the tools do.As leaders race to implement AI, many are relying on change management approaches that were designed for a slower, more predictable world. But when change is constant, communication plans and training sessions aren't enough. Real transformation happens when leaders understand how people actually adopt new ways of working.In this episode, Naomi sits down with organizational change expert and author Paul Gibbons to explore why traditional change management needs an update for the age of AI. Together, they unpack why leadership modelling matters more than ever, how HR can navigate the "double bind" of transforming itself while helping the rest of the organization evolve, and why behavioural science—not technology—is the missing ingredient in successful AI adoption.Whether you're leading an AI initiative, supporting organizational change, or simply trying to help your people adapt to a rapidly changing workplace, this conversation offers a thoughtful, practical perspective on leading transformation with both confidence and humanity.About Paul GibbonsPaul Gibbons is a consultant, speaker, and author focused on change, culture, and AI adoption. He is the creator of the Adaptive Adoption Framework and has authored nine books, including Adopting AI, written for leaders who need a practical strategy. He was ranked among the top five culture change thinkers globally by Global Gurus.Find Paul:Website: Paul Gibbons AdvisorySlack community: Think Bigger Think BetterStay Connected with foHRsightTo sign up for our monthly newsletter, foHRsight, click HERE Follow us on LinkedIn:Mark EdgarNaomi Titleman Collafuture foHRward Follow us on InstagramIf you are looking for more foHRsight, sign up for our monthly foHRsight newsletter.

Artificial intelligence can accelerate output, but sustainable performance depends on whether human and organizational capability can keep pace.In this milestone episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good speaks with renowned leadership and HR thinker Dr. Dave Ulrich about turning individual talent into organizational capability that creates value for customers, investors, employees, and communities.Dr. Ulrich explains the difference between competence—what an individual knows, does, and embodies—and capability—what an organization consistently does well. He explores how leaders can combine AI with the distinctly human strengths of vision, innovation, emotion, and wisdom while protecting judgment, honest feedback, human connection, and the future leadership pipeline.The conversation also examines the danger of mistaking increased activity for stronger capability, why leaders must become better observers of themselves and others, and how careers and leadership brands must evolve in an AI-driven world.This episode is part of our milestone series, What It Takes to Keep Rising in an AI Era.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Milestone Series Announcement01:23 Dr. Ulrich's Perspective on Turning Talent Into Value02:09 The Difference Between Competence and Capability03:21 Leadership Challenges in a Volatile World04:16 The Multiplier Effect of Human Ingenuity and AI05:40 Four Pillars of Human Ingenuity: Vision, Innovation, Emotion, and Wisdom07:41 The Risks of Output Racing Ahead of Capability08:37 Creating Value for Stakeholders10:21 Signals of Building Activity Versus Capability12:56 The Power of Honest Feedback in Leadership14:20 Leadership in the AI Age: Human Connection and Feedback16:17 The Risks of Automation and the Future Leadership Pipeline19:05 Redefining Careers and Developing Future Leaders22:28 Self-Interrogation and an Evolving Leadership Mindset27:10 A Critical Leadership Skill: Observation and Reflection32:59 Building a Leadership Brand in the AI Era34:36 Final Reflections and Connecting With Dr. UlrichSubscribe to The Good Leadership Podcast: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] | [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/charlesagood⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack Channel (Outlearn to Outperform): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠charlesgood.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn Newsletter (The Outlearn Advantage): [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]⁠⁠⁠The Institute for Management Studies

The Leadership Operating System Every leader develops an internal operating system. It's built from experience, reinforced by success, and often becomes invisible to the person running it. In this episode, Allison explores: Why the habits that created success may eventually create limitations How early-stage leadership instincts differ from scaling-stage leadership needs The hidden ways leaders become organizational bottlenecks Why recurring problems are often systemic rather than isolated The challenge of recognizing your own leadership patterns How authority limits honest feedback Why perspective is often more valuable than advice The role trusted peers play in helping leaders see blind spots How leaders can upgrade their operating system as they grow Key Question: What recurring pattern in your organization might be connected to how you operate as a leader?

Why Your Team Stops Telling You the Truth As companies grow, leaders often face an invisible challenge: they hear less of what's really happening. This isn't because employees are dishonest. It's because people naturally filter information when speaking to someone who holds authority over their career, compensation, and future opportunities. In this episode, Allison explores: How growth changes a leader's information environment Why teams begin filtering information The role power plays in workplace communication How leadership blind spots are created Why people stop raising concerns The hidden cost of operating on incomplete information Why asking for honesty isn't enough How to create psychological safety inside organizations The importance of trusted peers outside your business Key Question: When your team gives you an update, do you believe you're getting the full picture? If not, what have you done to make honesty truly safe?

Ingrid Curtis -- she spent 17 years helping build one of the most ambitious digital transformation platforms in enterprise. She then became its CEO, and her first move was to say the whole thing needed to be rebuilt.    She has a rare kind of credibility; she didn't just form opinions about why enterprise aI initiatives keep failing, she helped build the infrastructure that's now becoming the bottleneck. And rather than quietly course-correct, she's calling it out openly.    As CEO of Sparq, she's repositioning the company from digital-first to data-first, and she believes this shift is about to become the defining leadership challenge in enterprise.

Morning Show 06-02-26 Hour 2 Ndrew Donaldson-WV Dem party leadership challenge by The Watchdog

In this episode of the PRmoment Podcast, host Ben Smith sits down with Will Hart, CEO of PRmoment Leaders, to unpack the four most pressing leadership challenges facing senior agency executives. As agencies navigate an era characterized by unprecedented disruption, Hart highlights how leaders are balancing day-to-day business survival with systemic shifts in technology and workforce culture.Key ThemesAI Disruption & Governance: Artificial Intelligence is the most pervasive topic across agency masterclasses. The challenge has evolved from initial existential panic to practical governance—determining how to safely integrate AI into client services, agency structures, and junior talent workflows without losing the human element.The Multi-Generational Divide: A distinct cultural fault line has emerged between pre-COVID and post-COVID workforces. Gen Z and junior practitioners prioritize hard boundaries and work-life balance, contrasting sharply with the traditional, "always-on" agency culture of the past.The Unsettled Hybrid Work Model: The debate over hybrid working remains volatile. While client-side CEOs increasingly demand five-day in-office weeks, agencies are attempting to maintain flexible structures (typically a 3:2 model) to retain talent, with proximity and commute times dictating employee satisfaction.High Performance in Hyper-Competitive Markets: Leaders are forced to maintain profitability, pitch constantly, and deliver exceptional creative work while fundamentally restructuring their businesses.On AI Panic: > "If you work hard, you're motivated, and you're intelligent... you're going to be alright. It's a tool for you to earn more. You don't need to panic." — Ben SmithOn Gen Z and Work-Life Balance: > "The Gen Z people... they have a different approach to life. They are more generally into work-life balance actually and, you know, hard to fault them on that, isn't it?" — Will HartOn the Current Pace of Change: > "It's sort of like building the plane as you're flying it... everything we've spoken about now, I guess particularly AI, is just driving such massive change." — Will HartElevate Your Agency: Join the Latest Semester of PRmoment LeadersAre you a senior PR agency leader trying to navigate these exact friction points alone?

Most teams don't fail because they lack talent. They fail because they lose their ability to operate under discomfort.In this solo episode of Leadership Launchpad, I look at why the ability to stay effective when things get uncomfortable has become a defining factor in how modern teams perform.I draw a distinction between pressure that sharpens performance and pressure that overwhelms it, and why the difference between the two shows up in how teams are built, led, and developed over time.This matters because most organizations are operating in environments where change is constant, expectations shift quickly, and comfort is no longer a reliable indicator of stability or success.The real question for leaders is not whether their teams can avoid pressure, but whether they can function inside it without losing clarity or speed.That is what this episode is ultimately about.Episode Highlights: [00:00] Why uncomfortable teams outperform comfortable ones [03:19] Why the Body Only Grows Under Pressure [06:48] What Discomfort Looks Like Inside Organizations [07:50] Accountability vs Committee Culture [10:50] The Leadership Challenge of Pushing People [12:12] Why AI and Rapid Change Are Increasing Organizational Stress [15:08] Building Trust Before Raising Standards [17:31] The Key Question Every Manager Should AskKey Takeaways:High-performing teams expand their capacity for discomfort over timeNot all pressure reduces performance, some of it improves itGrowth comes from exposure, not avoidanceFeedback and accountability shape how teams respond under stressFast-changing environments reward adaptability over stabilityLeadership is often about deciding what level of pressure a team can sustainThe future belongs to teams that can stay clear and effective under uncertaintyIf this resonates with how you think about leadership and performance, subscribe for more conversations on building teams that operate well in complex environments.Links & ResourcesWebsite: https://www.bettereverydaystudios.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgjertsen/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetterEveryDayStudios

In this interview, Matt Pierce, co-founder and CEO of Immediate, shares the story behind the company and its mission to give employees early access to wages they've already earned through a simple, flat-fee alternative to payday and title loans. He discusses Immediate's growth since 2019 to nearly 700 employees nationwide, and how the company is staying mission-driven while scaling in a competitive earned wage access market. Matt also talks about how they're building alignment through shared ownership and stock education, shifting toward strategic partnerships and larger clients, and learning from a past hiring mistake in sales. He closes by reflecting on his own leadership growth, especially around delegation, coaching, and developing stronger leaders across the organization. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:10 Immediate's Earned Wage Access 4:38 Fighting Payday Loans 6:40 Growth With Purpose 11:31 Building True Ownership 15:48 Scaling Through Setbacks 20:30 Learning to Let Go Key Takeaways Fast growth only works when the mission is actively reinforced through stories, not just stated in strategy documents. At Immediate, customer impact stories (avoiding late fees, accessing earned wages) keep teams aligned and motivated. Ownership is strengthened by structure giving employees equity changes how they think, decide, and act. Rapid sales expansion without clear ICP or territories created inefficiency and overlap, requiring a strategic reset. The company shifted toward strategic partnerships to scale more efficiently and improve enterprise reach. Founder leadership must evolve from "doing the work" to "coaching the team" to avoid becoming a bottleneck. Trusting the team and stepping back is essential for sustainable scale. This episode is a must-listen for CEOs and executives looking to lead innovation with purpose, scale responsibly with AI, and build cultures where people feel empowered to think boldly and grow. About the Guest Matt Pierce is the co-founder of Immediate, an earned wage access company helping employees access wages they've already earned, offering a responsible alternative to payday lending. Under his leadership, Immediate has scaled rapidly while focusing on mission-driven growth and financial wellness for workers across the U.S. How to Connect with Matt Pierce: LinkedIn: Matt Pierce https://www.linkedin.com/in/piercmb/ Company Website: https://www.joinimmediate.com/ – to learn more about his work and platform Get In Touch with Matt: https://www.joinimmediate.com/contact-us Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?
