Jsou v Česku férově daněny osoby samostatně výdělečně činné ve srovnání s tím, kolik na daních odvádějí zaměstnanci? Odborníci z organizace PAQ Research tvrdí, že nikoli, a navrhují reformu. „Současný systém zdanění OSVČ je nerovný,“ upozorňuje v Pro a proti ekonom z PAQ Research Petr Vilím. „Nesouhlasím s tím, že daň u vysokopříjmových OSVČ je až čtyřikrát vyšší než daň, kterou platí zaměstnanci,“ namítá ekonom Vladimír Toráč ze společnosti Grant Thornton.

Why foreign “hammers” fail and what leaders must do differently in 2025 For decades, foreign companies entering Japan have repeated the same mistake: dispatching a “change agent” from HQ to shake things up. The scenario often ends in disaster. Relationships are broken, trust collapses, and revenues fall. In 2025, the lesson is clear—Japan doesn't need hammers. It needs builders who listen, localise, and lead with respect. Why do foreign change agents so often fail in Japan? Most fail because they arrive as “hammers,” assuming Japanese organisations are nails to be pounded. They issue orders, demand compliance, and move quickly to replace “uncooperative” staff. Within months, good people leave, clients are alienated, and HQ is asking why nothing has improved. In Japan's relationship-driven culture, trust and precedent matter more than speed. What works in the US or Europe—shock therapy and rapid restructuring—backfires badly in Tokyo. Mini-Summary: Change agents fail because they impose foreign models on Japan, destroying relationships and trust in the process. What makes Japan's business environment unique? Japan's corporate culture is deeply relationship-based. Employees and clients alike expect stability, respect for hierarchy, and long-term partnership. Leaders who ignore these norms are seen as reckless and disrespectful. Imagine if a Japanese executive were sent to New York or Sydney with no English, no knowledge of local clients, and an eagerness to sack your colleagues. How would staff react? That's how many Japanese employees feel when foreign hammers arrive. Mini-Summary: Japan values stability, respect, and trust. Ignoring cultural context guarantees resistance to foreign-led change. How does poor localisation damage performance? Foreign leaders often fail because they don't understand Japanese customers, laws, or working styles. Policies designed for HQ markets rarely fit Japan. When imposed, they drive away clients and demoralise employees. Losing even a handful of senior staff can devastate sales because relationships with clients are personal and long-standing. Unlike in Silicon Valley or London, relationships in Japan cannot be quickly replaced. Mini-Summary: Poor localisation alienates both staff and customers. Once key relationships are broken in Japan, they are almost impossible to rebuild quickly. What should leaders do differently before landing in Japan? Preparation is everything. Leaders should study Japanese language, culture, and business practices before stepping on the plane. They must also build “air cover” at HQ—support for localisation and patience with results. Quick wins help: small, visible improvements that build credibility. Equally important is identifying influencers inside the Japanese office to champion necessary changes. Instead of dictating, leaders must co-create solutions with the local team. For a comprehensive roadmap, leaders should read Japan Business Mastery and Japan Leadership Mastery, which remain the most up-to-date guides on how to succeed in Japan's unique and complex business environment. Mini-Summary: Leaders should prepare deeply, secure HQ support, and pursue small wins with local influencers. Japan Business Mastery and Japan Leadership Mastery are the definitive playbooks for succeeding in Japan. Why is listening more powerful than ordering in Japan? Successful leaders in Japan listen first. They try to understand why processes exist before changing them. What seems inefficient to outsiders may serve a hidden purpose, such as preserving harmony with partners or complying with local regulations. Listening builds credibility and signals respect. Staff become more open to change when they feel heard. By contrast, ordering without listening provokes silent resistance, where employees nod in meetings but fail to execute later. Mini-Summary: Listening creates buy-in and reveals hidden logic. Ordering without listening triggers silent resistance in Japan. How can foreign leaders build rather than wreck in Japan? The answer is to be a builder, not a wrecker. Builders respect relationships, cultivate influencers, and adapt global practices to local realities. They hasten slowly, introducing sustainable changes without blowing up trust. Executives at firms like Microsoft Japan and Coca-Cola Japan have shown that localisation, patience, and humility create long-term growth. Change agents may deliver in other markets, but in Japan, only builders succeed. Mini-Summary: Builders succeed by respecting trust, localising global models, and moving at Japan's pace. Conclusion The “change agent” model is a repeat failure in Japan. In 2025, foreign companies must abandon the hammer approach and embrace a builder mindset—listening, localising, and cultivating trust. Japan's market is rich, stable, and full of opportunity, but only for leaders who respect its unique culture. For executives who want a practical roadmap, Japan Business Mastery and Japan Leadership Mastery remain the most relevant and up-to-date books on how to win in this demanding environment.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes back Maxim W. Furek Date: September 30th, 2025 EP: 621 TOPIC: Maxim joins me today to talk about his book " Paranormal Apocalypse" . - Book Overview - - What if our obsession with the end times reveals something extraordinary about human nature? From a forgotten 1969 song that predicted our technological nightmare to the mysterious drone swarms of 2024, something dark threads through human consciousness—an inexplicable attraction to our own destruction. The Secret Psychology of Doomsday Why did a simple folk song about the year 2525 become a massive hit during the Summer of Love? What drives ordinary people to abandon everything and follow apocalyptic cult leaders? And why can't we look away when the world seems to be ending? Author Maxim W. Furek has uncovered a hidden pattern—a psychological phenomenon he calls "Apocalyptic Awe" that explains everything from ancient prophecies to modern conspiracy theories, from Hollywood blockbusters to political movements. The Questions That Will Haunt You: What did H.P. Lovecraft see coming that we're only now discovering? Why do the same apocalyptic fears resurface generation after generation, just wearing different masks? How are online "rabbit holes" weaponizing humanity's oldest anxieties? What connects the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to your social media feed? The Dark Discovery Through shocking case studies—from Jonestown to January 6th, from nuclear panic to AI anxiety—Furek reveals how apocalyptic thinking isn't just shaping our entertainment and politics. It's rewiring our brains. But here's the twist: understanding this hidden force might be the key to our survival. Some truths about human nature can only be found in humanity's darkest fantasies. The Bridge Between Worlds Why do the paranormal and apocalyptic thinking always appear together? Why do UFO sightings spike during social upheaval? What's the real connection between ghost stories and global catastrophe? The answers will change how you see everything—from the news to your nightmares. Ready to discover what your fascination with the end times says about you? Paranormal Apocalypse isn't just about predicting the future—it's about understanding the hidden forces already shaping it.

Sei es Containerschiffe oder Fluss-Kreuzfahrten, die Basler Rheinhäfen sind ein Tor zur Welt. Von hier aus werden Wahren verschifft und Güter ungeschlagen.

Am 07.10. erwartet uns der erste Supervollmond des Jahres im Zeichen Widder. Dieser besondere Vollmond bringt eine intensive Energie mit sich, die uns auf kollektiver und persönlicher Ebene herausfordert.Da der Mond der Erde besonders nahe kommt, wirkt er nicht nur sichtbar heller und größer, sondern entfaltet auch eine spürbar stärkere energetische Kraft. Im Human Design zeigt sich dieser Vollmond im Tor 21, dem Tor der Kontrolle, in Linie 5. Damit rückt das Thema Kontrolle und Vertrauen in den Mittelpunkt dieser Zeitqualität.Wir werden eingeladen zu prüfen, wo wir noch festhalten, manipulieren oder uns von Emotionen treiben lassen – und wo wir lernen dürfen, loszulassen, zu vertrauen und unserer inneren Führung zu folgen. Dieser Supervollmond deckt alte Strukturen, Zwang und ungesunde Kontrollmechanismen auf und kann uns in Situationen bringen, in denen wir scheinbar nichts mehr unter Kontrolle haben. Doch genau darin liegt die Chance: Hingabe, Akzeptanz und die Rückkehr zu mehr Echtheit und Authentizität.Gleichzeitig erinnert uns diese Phase daran, dass gesunde Kontrolle durchaus wichtig ist – etwa beim Organisieren von Finanzen, Alltag oder Strukturen – jedoch nur in dem Maß, in dem sie uns dient und nicht unsere Lebenskraft blockiert. Der Supervollmond im Widder ist daher eine Einladung, zwischen sinnvoller Ordnung und zwanghaftem Festhalten zu unterscheiden.Dieser Vollmond kann intensive Emotionen, innere Tests und äußere Konflikte hervorbringen. Doch er wirkt auch wie eine kollektive Reinigung, die uns von dem befreit, was nicht echt ist, und Raum für mehr Vertrauen, Leichtigkeit und Authentizität schafft.Termin buchen.

Las murallas de las ciudades cananeas parecían inexpugnables y la población de la tierra estaba entrenada para la guerra. A diferencia de ello, los israelitas, simples nómades, no poseían siquiera las máquinas de guerra más primitivas para enfrentarse a las murallas fortificadas. Según los registros históricos, ni siquiera Egipto, la superpotencia de aquellos tiempos, fue capaz de afianzarse en Canaán. No obstante, el llamado a esforzarse y ser valiente no se relaciona aquí solo con la moral para la batalla o con las estrategias bélicas. El valor y la fortaleza eran necesarios para permanecer fieles a la Torá y a sus requisitos específicos, que definían el pacto de Israel con Dios. Lee Efesios 6:10-18. Aunque hoy no se requiere de nosotros que participemos en acciones bélicas, ¿cómo podemos aplicar las palabras de aliento dadas a Josué en nuestras luchas espirituales cotidianas? Los cristianos se enfrentan hoy a desafíos similares a los de Josué en el cumplimiento de la misión que Cristo les ha encomendado; es decir, se les exige que libren una guerra contra sus propias tendencias pecaminosas, contra los principados, potestades y gobernantes de las tinieblas de este mundo y contra las fuerzas de la maldad. Como Josué, también cuentan con la promesa tranquilizadora de la presencia de Cristo: “Yo estoy con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo” (Mat. 28:20). Así como la presencia sustentadora del Señor fue suficiente para contrarrestar los temores de Josué, también debería serlo para desterrar nuestras dudas y ansiedades. Nuestro desafío es conocer al Señor lo suficiente como para confiar en él y en las promesas que nos ha hecho. De allí que lo que más necesitamos es esa relación personal con él. La pregunta crucial para nosotros hoy no es diferente de la que se planteó Josué. ¿Cómo podemos permanecer fieles a lo que dice la Palabra de Dios, incluso cuando eso no sea popular o conveniente? 

Palabras de Torá del Rab. Gabriel D. Michanie en la comunidad Maguen Abraham, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In dieser Episode sprechen Martje und Stefan über das Tor 17 im Human Design. Das Tor der Meinungen gehört zum logischen Schaltkreis (Kollektiv Verstehen) und bildet sich seine Meinung, nachdem es die Antworten von Tor 4 bekommen hat (auf die Fragen von Tor 63) Dieses Tor bringt manchmal eine gewisse Starrheit mit sich (im Schatten), kann aber auch sehr offen und diskussionsbereit sein.

Palabras de Torá del Rab. Gabriel D. Michanie en la comunidad Maguen Abraham, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In questa puntata ci confrontiamo sugli ultimi allenamenti prima delle grandi sfide: Tor des Géants e Ironman Cervia. Parliamo di come abbiamo impostato la preparazione, dei lavori di qualità che ci piacciono (o che odiamo), e di come gestire i carichi tra bici e corsa. 

Inspired by the ethos of Silk Road and the lifespans of Agora and Dream Market, a new player emerged from the shadows of Tor in 2020: Archetyp. Built on promises of security, usability, and “ethical” standards, the marketplace steadily grew while rivals rose and fell. By 2025 it served ≈ 600 000 users, ≈ 3 000 vendors, and had moved ≈ €250 million in illicit transactions.We trace the founder—known as “Yoshi” (BigBossChefOfArchetyp)—and his obsessive focus on operational security. Archetyp required Monero‑only payments, leveraged PGP encryption, offered auto‑encryption of shipping data, ran an anti‑phishing sandbox (“jail”), and used rotating Tor mirrors to stay online.Beyond the tech, the market stood out for its sleek UI, step‑by‑step guides, powerful search filters, and even built‑in games—making it the “beauty queen” of darknet markets.Relentless DDoS attacks smothered Archetyp's fifth‑birthday celebration. Shortly afterward, Yoshi vanished from the forums and an ominous “maintenance” screen replaced the home page—blank and static. A few days later a graphic‑novel‑style video surfaced online, announcing that the market had been seized.Operation Deep Sentinel—a coordinated sweep led by Germany's BKA and backed by Europol, Eurojust, Dutch, Spanish, Romanian, Swedish, and U.S. agencies—hit in June 2025. Within days the Dutch data centre was seized, a 30‑year‑old German administrator was arrested in Barcelona, and €7.8 million in cash, crypto and hardware vanished into police evidence lockers.As the front page flickered to a seizure banner, frantic posts flooded the Dread forum. The darknet community, hardened by previous busts, scattered—but the question remains: Can law enforcement ever stay ahead of the ever‑evolving dark‑web trade?Speakers:Sarah Fares, Analyst at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.Louise Ferret, Lead Threat Intelligence Analyst at Searchlight Cyber.Article:An Archetypal drug market: Despite the dismantling of dark web drug market Archetyp, illicit marketplaces reassemble faster than they fallAdditional Links:Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized CrimeSearchlight CyberResearch...

Großes Jubiläum für Harry Kane. Er erzielte sein 100. Tor für den FC Bayern und brauchte für die 100 Tore sogar weniger Spiele als Erling Haaland bei Manchester City und Cristiano Ronaldo damals bei Real Madrid. Der Superstürmer ist wichtig wie nie für den FC Bayern. Große Sorgen machen sich bei Borussia Mönchengladbach breit. Im Topspiel gegen Eintracht Frankfurt erlebt die Borussia eine Horror-Halbzeit, kann aus einem 0:5 noch ein 4:6 machen. Trotzdem: Das Team rutscht auf Platz 18 ab, ist jetzt Tabellenletzter. Abstiegsangst in Gladbach?

Cyberattacken auf Herzimplantate: Im Schweizer «Tatort» «Kammerflimmern» programmieren Hacker lebensrettende Defibrillatoren zu einer tödlichen Waffe um. Was ist Fiktion und was reale Gefahr in einer zunehmend digitalisierten Medizinwelt? «Puls» ordnet ein und spricht mit einem Herzpatienten. Bei schweren Herzproblemen sind Herzimplantate überlebenswichtig. Im neuen SRF-«Tatort» «Kammerflimmern» werden sie von Hackern zur Mordwaffe umfunktioniert. Wie viel Realität steckt im Krimi, welche Fragen zur Cybersicherheit wirft er auf? Und was löst das Szenario bei Menschen mit einem Herzimplantat aus? Leben mit Herz-Implantat – Angst vor Hackern? «Puls»-Host Daniela Lager trifft einen 43-jährigen Familienvater, der seit seiner Jugend mit einem Defibrillator-Implantat samt Herzschrittmacher lebt. Das Gerät hat ihm schon das Leben gerettet. Wie kommt die «Tatort»-Story bei ihm an? Weckt der Krimi zusätzliche Ängste? Manipulierte Implantate – Was ist möglich, was wahrscheinlich? Herzimplantate werden von Software gesteuert, die gelegentlich ein Update benötigen können. Öffnet das böswilligen Hackern Tür und Tor? Dass Hacks von Insulinpumpen, Herzschrittmachern und Defibrillator-Implantaten möglich sind, haben aufsehenerregende Simulationen in der Vergangenheit jedenfalls schon gezeigt. Ein Spezialist für IT-Sicherheit analysiert die «Tatort»-Szenarien – und «Puls» fragt: Schenken die Medizingerätehersteller den IT-Risiken genügend Aufmerksamkeit? Zielscheibe Gesundheitswesen – Wie umgehen mit der Cybergefahr? Sensible Daten und lebenswichtige Infrastruktur sind lukrative Ziele für Erpresser. Das Gesundheitswesen sieht sich deshalb immer häufigeren Cyberattacken ausgesetzt, die Datendiebstahl oder Blockaden zum Ziel haben. «Puls» zeigt, wie Schweizer Spitäler damit bei zunehmender Vernetzung umgehen. Vertrauen ins Implantat – Braucht es Aufklärung über Cyberrisiken? «Puls» begleitet Markus Schwab beim jährlichen Check seines Herzimplantats im Berner Inselspital. Welchen Stellenwert hat dabei die Cybersicherheit für den Kardiologen? Sind die möglichen Risiken für seine Patientinnen und Patienten überhaupt ein Thema, oder würde eine Aufklärung nur unnötig das Grundvertrauen ins lebenswichtige Implantat belasten? «Puls»-Chat – Fragen und Antworten zum Thema Herzimplantate Haben Sie Fragen zu Herzrhythmus-Störungen und Herzimplantaten? Möchten Sie mehr zu gesundheitlichen Aspekten oder zur Cybersicherheit der Geräte wissen? Lässt Ihnen das «Tatort»-Szenario keine Ruhe? Eine siebenköpfige Fachrunde von Kardiologen und Cyberspezialisten weiss am Montag von 21.00 bis 23.00 Uhr Rat – live im Chat. Fragen können bereits ab Sonntagabend eingereicht werden.

 Nine proven strategies executives and professionals in Japan and worldwide can use to master public speaking and influence with confidence Why do business professionals need presentation guidelines? Most of us stumble into public speaking without training. We focus on doing our jobs, not plotting a public speaking career path. Yet as careers advance, presentations to colleagues, clients, or stakeholders become unavoidable. Executives at firms like Hitachi, SoftBank, or Mitsubishi know that persuasive communication directly affects career progress and credibility. Without guidelines, many professionals waste decades avoiding public speaking. The good news? It's never too late to learn. By following proven principles, anyone can become a confident communicator capable of inspiring audiences and strengthening personal brands. Mini-Summary: Public speaking is not optional in business careers. Guidelines accelerate confidence and credibility, ensuring leaders don't miss opportunities. Should you use notes during a presentation? Yes, brief notes are acceptable. Smart presenters use them as navigation aids, either on the podium or discreetly placed behind the audience. Audiences don't penalise speakers for glancing at notes—they care about clarity and delivery. The real mistake is trying to memorise everything, which creates unnecessary stress. Professionals at companies like Goldman Sachs or Deloitte often carry structured notes to ensure flow without losing authenticity. The key is to avoid reading word-for-word and instead speak naturally to main points. Mini-Summary: Notes provide direction and reduce stress. Reading word-for-word damages authenticity, but reference notes enhance confidence. Why is reading or memorising speeches ineffective? Reading entire speeches is disengaging. Audiences quickly tune out when delivery sounds like a monotone recitation. Memorising 30 minutes of text is equally flawed—it strains memory and removes spontaneity. Modern leaders need flexibility, not rigid scripts. Instead, professionals should memorise key ideas, not sentences. Political leaders and CEOs alike rely on talking points, not full manuscripts, to stay natural and adaptable. In Japan, executives trained in Dale Carnegie programs learn to communicate with presence, not performance. Mini-Summary: Reading or memorising word-for-word suffocates engagement. Focus on key points to remain natural, flexible, and credible. How can evidence strengthen your presentation? Audiences are sceptical of sweeping statements. Without proof, leaders risk credibility damage. Evidence—statistics, expert testimony, and case studies—adds authority. A claim like “our industry is growing” has little weight unless supported with 2025 market research or benchmarks from firms like PwC or Bain & Company. In Japan's cautious corporate culture, data-backed arguments are particularly vital. Numbers, trends, and customer case studies reinforce trust, especially during Q&A sessions where credibility is tested. Mini-Summary: Evidence turns opinion into authority. Leaders should support claims with facts, statistics, and expert sources to maintain credibility. Why is rehearsal so important? Practice transforms delivery. Presenting to trusted colleagues provides feedback and confidence. But avoid asking vague questions like “What do you think?” Instead, request specifics: “What was strong?” and “How can it improve?” This reframes feedback into constructive insight. At global firms, leaders often rehearse in front of teams or communication coaches before critical investor calls or town halls. Japanese executives, known for precision, benefit greatly from structured rehearsal before presenting to boards or government stakeholders. Mini-Summary: Rehearsal reduces anxiety and strengthens delivery. Ask targeted questions to turn feedback into actionable improvement. Do you always need visual aids? Not necessarily. Slides are valuable only if they add clarity. Overloaded decks weaken impact, but visuals with people, trends, or key figures make content memorable. A simple chart highlighting one data point can be more persuasive than 20 dense slides. Visuals also act as navigation, allowing presenters to recall main points naturally. At firms like Apple or Tesla, minimalist visuals emphasise storytelling over clutter—an approach business leaders worldwide can adopt. Mini-Summary: Visual aids should clarify, not confuse. Use them sparingly to highlight key ideas and support storytelling. How should professionals control nerves before speaking? Nervous energy—“butterflies”—is natural. The solution is physical and mental preparation. Deep, slow breathing lowers heart rate and calms the body. Some professionals walk briskly backstage to burn excess energy, while others use pep talks to raise intensity. Finding a personal ritual is key. Research in workplace psychology shows that controlled breathing and physical grounding improve focus. Japanese executives presenting at high-stakes shareholder meetings often use discreet breathing exercises before stepping on stage. Mini-Summary: Anxiety is natural. Breathing, movement, and mental preparation channel nerves into productive energy. Why should you never imitate other speakers? Authenticity wins. Copying others produces inauthentic delivery and limits growth. Instead, leaders should develop their own voice through practice and feedback. Life is too short to be a poor copy of someone else. Famous communicators like Steve Jobs or Sheryl Sandberg became iconic not by imitation but by honing unique, authentic styles. The same is true in Japan: executives respected for leadership presence stand out because they are genuine. Mini-Summary: Don't copy others. Develop a natural, authentic style that reflects your personality and strengths. Conclusion: How do guidelines transform your presentation career? Public speaking is not an optional skill—it defines leadership impact. By applying nine guidelines—using notes, avoiding reading, focusing on key points, backing claims with evidence, knowing more than you say, rehearsing, using visuals wisely, controlling nerves, and being authentic—professionals protect and elevate their personal brands. Key Takeaways: Notes guide, but don't read word-for-word. Memorise ideas, not sentences. Use evidence to back claims and build authority. Rehearse with feedback for confidence. Visuals should enhance, not clutter. Control nerves with breathing and energy rituals. Authenticity beats imitation every time. Leaders at all levels should take action now: seek training, rehearse deliberately, and present with authenticity. Don't waste years avoiding public speaking. The sooner you embrace it, the faster your leadership brand grows.

“Anything that stretches you and makes you grow is never easy.” “In general, to gain trust, the three things that work are humility, curiosity, and authenticity.” “In Japan, you have to move from busy to productive, and from productive to impactful.” “As a leader, you must trust others to be your voice, your interpreter, and your proofreader.” “First and foremost, put your hand up—there's too much hesitation and self-censoring.” Dr. Laura Bonamici is the Global Head of Marketing at Fujitsu, based in Tokyo, Japan. Her career has spanned multiple industries and geographies, from consumer goods and luxury fashion to technology, each stage demanding adaptability and reinvention. Previously she was a Communications Specialist, Embedded PR; Commodity Operations Program Manager, Goldman Sachs; Investment Banking Division, Goldman Sachs; Corporate Marketing Assistant, Drake International-Learning Technologies.  She has a Ph.D. from Royal Holloway University of London; and B.A from Universita degli Studi di Firenze. She has built her reputation on her ability to lead transformation across cultures, guiding teams through periods of uncertainty and change. In Japan, she has been tasked directly by Fujitsu's CEO with spearheading marketing transformation, a mandate that challenges her to balance global speed with the local consensus-driven style of decision-making. Fluent in several languages and deeply committed to cultural immersion, Laura has become known for blending precision with creativity, humility with authority, and long-term commitment with immediate impact. She champions diversity, particularly encouraging women to take leadership roles and pursue international assignments, believing that exposure to different cultures is essential for confidence and perspective. Today, she continues to refine her leadership approach in Japan's uniquely complex business environment, guided by authenticity, curiosity, and respect for cultural nuance. Leadership, for Dr. Laura Bonamici, is a process of constant growth, challenge, and adaptation. As Global Head of Marketing at Fujitsu, she has learned that leadership in Japan is unlike anywhere else in the world: demanding patience, cultural sensitivity, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. Upon her arrival in Tokyo, she was tasked by the CEO with driving transformation. Yet, she quickly discovered that while international markets often prize speed and disruption, Japan's consensus-driven decision-making process values nemawashi (informal groundwork), ringi-sho (formal approval circulation), and a deliberate pace. Rather than imposing a foreign model, Laura chose to respect the cultural norms while still pushing for meaningful change. This balancing act has required resilience and an appreciation that transformation cannot be rushed. Trust lies at the heart of her leadership. As a non-Japanese executive, she is acutely aware of perceptions that foreigners may not stay long. To counter this, she invests time in one-on-one interactions, symbolic gestures like delivering speeches in Japanese, and consistent demonstrations of long-term commitment. These actions, while small, become essential trust-building measures that gradually shift perceptions. Laura's leadership style is built on humility, curiosity, and authenticity. She believes in asking questions, even in a culture where questioning may be uncomfortable, framing them in ways that show genuine interest rather than criticism. She uses tools such as workshops, Post-it brainstorming, and agile methodologies to encourage open participation and psychological safety. For her, leadership is not about imposing a style but about weaving together the best aspects of Japanese precision, international innovation, and Fujitsu's own corporate culture. She also emphasises the need to move from being “busy” to truly “impactful.” By deliberately carving out time in her calendar for reflection and creativity, she models the behaviours she wants her team to adopt. This philosophy resonates strongly in Japan, where overwork is common but does not always translate to high impact. For women, she acknowledges both the barriers and the opportunities in Japan. She urges female leaders to “put their hand up” rather than self-censor, and advocates for international assignments to build resilience and global perspective. With Fujitsu's goal of 30% female leadership, she sees systemic change as gradual but achievable through consistent encouragement and role modelling. Ultimately, Laura likens leadership to salt: essential when used wisely, overwhelming when misapplied. Her approach, grounded in authenticity and cultural respect, is a reminder that leadership is both an art and a discipline, particularly in the nuanced environment of Japan. What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is shaped by consensus-driven decision-making and cultural expectations of humility and harmony. Unlike markets that prioritise speed, Japan values nemawashi and ringi-sho, where alignment is painstakingly built. For Laura, leadership here requires balancing international urgency with local patience. Why do global executives struggle? Executives often arrive expecting to implement rapid change, only to find progress feels slow. They underestimate the importance of trust and long-term commitment. As Laura highlights, without demonstrating persistence and cultural respect, leaders may be dismissed as transient. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Rather than being risk-averse, Laura believes Japan exhibits high uncertainty avoidance. Transformation is not rejected but must be managed through careful consensus-building. She frames this as a shift from rushing decisions to ensuring impact, which aligns with decision intelligence principles. What leadership style actually works? Authenticity, humility, and curiosity are key. Asking questions, even when uncomfortable, models openness and encourages dialogue. Laura avoids imposing a singular “foreign” leadership style, instead blending the strengths of Japanese precision, international innovation, and Fujitsu's own values. How can technology help? Laura leverages agile methodologies, workshops, and digital collaboration tools to break down silos and create psychological safety. She believes technology, such as digital twins and agile design frameworks, enables experimentation without fear, helping bridge the gap between speed and consensus. Does language proficiency matter? Yes, both symbolically and practically. Delivering speeches in Japanese signals respect and commitment. It also reduces the reliance on interpreters, though Laura emphasises trusting interpreters and proofreaders as extensions of leadership. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Leadership, like salt, must be applied with balance. Too much control overwhelms; too little leaves teams directionless. Laura's ultimate lesson is that leadership is about fostering trust, modelling authenticity, and creating the conditions for impact rather than imposing authority. [00:00] Dr. Laura Bonamici introduces her leadership philosophy, stressing that anything that stretches and challenges you is never easy. She frames leadership as a balance of authenticity and cultural adaptation. [05:20] Discusses her arrival in Japan and mandate from Fujitsu's CEO to drive transformation. She quickly identifies the challenge of aligning international speed with Japan's consensus culture, rooted in nemawashi and ringi-sho. [12:45] Highlights the importance of trust-building as a foreign leader. Shares strategies such as one-on-one meetings, learning Japanese, and consistent presence to counter perceptions of transience. [18:30] Outlines her leadership pillars of humility, curiosity, and authenticity. Explains how asking questions, though culturally uncomfortable, demonstrates genuine interest and encourages dialogue. [25:10] Describes practical tools like workshops, Post-it brainstorming, and agile practices to foster innovation and psychological safety within teams. [32:00] Emphasises the shift from being busy to impactful. She blocks time for reflection and creativity, modelling productive behaviours in contrast to Japan's culture of overwork. [39:15] Addresses the challenges and opportunities for women leaders in Japan. Urges women to put their hand up, avoid self-censoring, and take overseas assignments to build resilience. [45:00] Concludes with her metaphor of leadership as salt — essential in balance, destructive in excess — encapsulating her philosophy of authenticity, cultural sensitivity, and patience.

A point-of-view character's experience of the world will shape the information that the reader gets about that world. So, a lot depends on who that character -- or characters -- might be! How can you turn their knowledge -- or lack thereof -- into a plot hook? Does the audience have information before a POV character does? How does their personality affect how information gets communicated to the reader? Guest Martin Cahill joins us to discuss! We also chat about one-off POVs, the context added by interstitial material and ephemera, and whether or not it's possible to write a story from the point of view of a dress.

Balancing strength and flexibility in leadership in 2025 Leaders are often told to “never surrender” and “winners don't quit.” At the same time, they are also expected to be flexible, adaptable, and open to change. These opposing demands resemble the yin-yang symbol—two seemingly contradictory forces that must coexist. As of 2025, when Japanese and global organisations face complex challenges from AI disruption to demographic decline, the real question is: should leaders concede, and if so, when? Why are leaders expected to be both tough and flexible? Leadership has long been framed as toughness—perseverance, resilience, and determination. Leaders are expected to stand firm when others waver. Yet modern organisations also demand agility. Executives must adapt to shifting markets, employee expectations, and cultural norms. In Japan, this dualism is particularly acute. The expectation of gaman (endurance) coexists with the need for kaizen (continuous improvement). Leaders must embody both, choosing when to persist and when to pivot. Mini-Summary: Leaders must balance resilience with adaptability. In Japan, gaman (endurance) and kaizen (improvement) highlight this dual demand. Why do most people avoid leadership roles? Leadership is stressful. It involves accountability, difficult decisions, and constant scrutiny. As Yogi Berra once quipped, “Leading is easy. It's getting people to follow you that's hard.” Leaders must sometimes fire underperformers, push unpopular decisions, and absorb criticism. In Japan, where harmony is valued, these responsibilities are even more daunting. Many professionals choose to remain followers, leaving leadership to those willing to shoulder the stress. Mini-Summary: Leadership is hard because it involves accountability and stress. Most people avoid it, which is why true leaders are rare. Why is delegation so difficult for leaders? Many leaders struggle to delegate effectively. The pressure to deliver results tempts them to keep control. Yet failing to delegate creates bottlenecks and burnout. In Japan, where leaders are often overloaded with both strategic and administrative tasks, this is a recurring challenge. Research shows that high-performing leaders focus on tasks only they can do, while delegating the rest. This requires trust, coaching, and patience. Without it, leaders end up hoarding tasks that should be done by others. Mini-Summary: Leaders often fail to delegate, but true effectiveness comes from focusing on high-value tasks and trusting the team. How should leaders balance authority with openness? Many leaders mouth platitudes about “servant leadership” or “management by walking around.” In reality, these often turn into issuing orders from new locations. The real test is whether leaders listen and incorporate team input. In Japan, where collectivism runs deep, openness is crucial. Employees are more engaged when they feel heard. Leaders who concede occasionally—adopting team ideas over their own—strengthen trust without losing authority. Mini-Summary: True openness means listening and conceding when team ideas are better. In Japan, this strengthens trust and loyalty. Can conceding actually make leaders stronger? Conceding is often seen as weakness, but in fact, it signals confidence. Leaders who admit they don't know everything gain credibility. They also encourage innovation, as employees feel safe proposing new approaches. In my own case, developing self-awareness has been key. Recognising that my way is not always the only way allows me to adapt and grow. Conceding doesn't mean surrendering; it means being smart enough to choose the best path. Mini-Summary: Conceding wisely shows strength, not weakness. Leaders gain credibility and foster innovation by admitting they don't know everything. How can leaders develop flexibility without losing authority? The key is mindset. Leaders must accept that multiple paths can lead to success. Flexibility requires conscious effort: more coaching, more listening, and more openness to alternatives. Japanese leaders, often trained in rigid hierarchies, may find this shift difficult. Yet flexibility is essential in today's unpredictable business environment. By selecting the best ideas—whether theirs or others'—leaders strengthen both their authority and their team's performance. Mini-Summary: Flexibility doesn't erode authority. By adopting the best ideas available, leaders remain strong while empowering their teams. Conclusion Leadership is not about rigidly holding the line or constantly conceding. It's about knowing when to do each. In 2025, leaders in Japan and worldwide must master the dualism of resilience and flexibility. By conceding strategically—listening, delegating, and adapting—leaders can inspire loyalty, foster innovation, and remain credible anchors in uncertain times.

How a structured roadmap transforms sales performance in Japan At the centre of every sale is the customer relationship. Surrounding that relationship are the stages of the sales cycle, which act like planets revolving around the sun. Without a structured cycle, salespeople risk being led by the buyer instead of guiding the process themselves. With it, they always know where they are and what comes next. Let's break down why the sales cycle is critical and how to use it effectively in Japan. What is the sales cycle and why does it matter? The sales cycle is a five-stage roadmap that moves from first contact through to closing and after-sales follow-up. Each stage—credibility, questioning, solution, objections, and close—ensures that salespeople remain in control of the process. In Japan, where buyers are cautious and expect professionalism, having a clear cycle prevents missteps. It reassures clients that the salesperson is competent and methodical. Just as Toyota uses structured processes for manufacturing excellence, salespeople need a reliable process to achieve consistent results. Mini-Summary: The sales cycle provides a roadmap that keeps salespeople in control, especially in Japan where clients expect structure and professionalism. How should salespeople make a strong first impression? The first step is credibility. Buyers often meet salespeople through referrals, events, or cold calls, and they form impressions quickly. A refined credibility statement is essential: it should clearly communicate who you are, your expertise, and why you are reliable. At this stage, qualifying questions are also critical. They help determine whether the prospect is a genuine fit for your solution. Without qualification, time and resources are wasted. In Japan's relationship-driven market, credibility and early alignment build the trust needed to advance the conversation. Mini-Summary: A polished credibility statement and targeted qualification questions establish trust and ensure you're talking to the right buyer. Why is questioning compared to a doctor's diagnosis? Just like doctors, salespeople must diagnose before prescribing. Asking questions reveals the buyer's current situation, future goals, barriers to success, and personal motivations. These insights uncover not only organisational needs but also the executive's personal stakes in the outcome. In Japan, where buyers may not volunteer information freely, structured questioning is vital. It demonstrates that the salesperson genuinely wants to understand before offering solutions. This approach aligns with consultative selling methods used by multinational firms, which outperform competitors relying on generic pitches. Mini-Summary: Diagnostic questioning uncovers both company needs and personal stakes, showing buyers you are serious about solving their problems. How do you present solutions effectively in Japan? Once needs are clear, the salesperson must outline the solution with detail and proof. This involves explaining features, translating them into benefits, and providing evidence of success in similar contexts. For example, showing how Fujitsu or Rakuten solved a comparable problem makes the solution credible. Importantly, salespeople should use trial closes to test understanding and identify concerns before the final ask. In Japan, this gentle approach respects hierarchy and allows buyers to raise issues without losing face. Mini-Summary: Effective solution presentations combine features, benefits, and proof, reinforced by trial closes to surface and resolve concerns early. How should objections be handled? If objections arise, it signals that either clarity or persuasion was lacking. The professional response is to address concerns respectfully, provide further evidence, and reframe value. In Japan, objections are often indirect, so listening carefully is essential. Global best practice suggests preparing objection-handling strategies in advance. Whether in consumer goods or B2B tech, salespeople who anticipate resistance show competence. Japanese clients in particular value patience and persistence in overcoming doubts. Mini-Summary: Objections reveal gaps in clarity or persuasion; handling them calmly and respectfully strengthens trust in Japan's relationship-driven culture. How do you close the sale and secure loyalty? Closing should not be abrupt. Instead, salespeople can “paint a word picture” of success, helping the buyer imagine the benefits of the solution in action. Then, a soft closing technique invites agreement. After closing, follow-up is critical. Maintaining contact ensures satisfaction, resolves issues, and opens the door for referrals. In Japan, where reputation spreads through networks, happy clients become powerful advocates. The sales cycle does not end with the sale—it ends with loyalty. Mini-Summary: Successful closing combines gentle persuasion with strong follow-up, turning satisfied clients into long-term advocates and referral sources. Conclusion The sales cycle—credibility, questioning, solution, objections, and closing—is the roadmap that guides salespeople through every conversation. Without it, sales interactions risk becoming chaotic or buyer-led. In Japan, where professionalism, trust, and long-term relationships are paramount, mastering the cycle is non-negotiable. Salespeople who use it consistently not only close more deals but also create loyal clients who sustain their business for years to come.

Dit tweede uur All That Jazzz @1Twente Enschede beginnen we met een paar onverbiddelijke jazz-standards om via de Ploctones -die vrijdag in Jazzpodium de Tor in Enschede spelen- terecht te komen bij de oer-sprong van de jazz in Afrika.

Es ist die Geschichte eines Spätzünders, der erst mit 19 Jahren ernsthaft im Tor stand: Sohn jugoslawischer Gastarbeiter aus Güglingen, hätte eigentlich Basketballer werden sollen. Heute trainiert er Oliver Baumann bei der TSG Hoffenheim – und damit einen der wichtigsten Männer für die WM 2026. Der Weg dorthin war alles andere als geradlinig: Während andere schon in Nachwuchsleistungszentren ausgebildet wurden, kickte Petković auf dem Dorfbolzplatz, spielte lieber Basketball und half nur sporadisch beim TSV Güglingen aus. Erst als der Trainer der ersten Mannschaft persönlich an seiner Tür klingelte und einen Notfall-Torwart brauchte, begann seine Fußballkarriere richtig. »Ich war so ein typisches Bolzplatzkind«, erinnert sich Petković im zweistündigen Gespräch. »Meine Eltern sind als Gastarbeiter nach Deutschland gekommen – da war es immer möglich, auf den Bolzplatz zu gehen.« Was folgte, war ein rasanter Aufstieg: Vom Kreisliga-Torwart über Kirchardt und den VfR Heilbronn bis zu Eintracht Braunschweig, wo er den Verein von der dritten Liga bis in die Bundesliga begleitete. Besonders prägend: Das erste Heimspiel vor 19.000 Zuschauern gegen Osnabrück. »Als ich die Flutlichtmasten gesehen habe und überall Fahnen an den Fenstern hingen, da habe ich gemerkt: Hier riecht es brutal nach Fußball.« Die Wendepunkte seiner Karriere kamen oft überraschend – wie jener Moment im strömenden Regen an einer ungarischen Autobahnraststätte, als Torsten Lieberknecht anrief. Petković war mit seiner hochschwangeren Frau auf dem Rückweg aus dem Serbien-Urlaub, als er neben einem Toilettenhäuschen stehend die Zusage für Braunschweig gab – ohne Rücksprache mit der Familie. »Ich bin wieder ins Auto gestiegen und sie fragte: Was war los? Wechsel nach Braunschweig, sagte ich. Und sie nur: Liegt Braunschweig nicht irgendwo im Norden?« Nach seiner aktiven Karriere der nahtlose Übergang zum Torwarttrainer – erst im Nachwuchsbereich der TSG Hoffenheim, dann sechs Jahre beim SV Wehen Wiesbaden, jetzt zurück in der Heimat als Torwarttrainer der Profis. Die größte Herausforderung: Oliver Baumann, seit Jahren eine der konstantesten Größen der Bundesliga, für die WM 2026 in Topform zu bringen. Petković spricht offen über die besonderen Anforderungen, mit einem Nationaltorhüter zu arbeiten: »Bei Olli siehst du, welchen Aufwand er von morgens bis abends betreibt. Alles ist abgestimmt in seinen Abläufen.« Gleichzeitig bleibt er bescheiden: »Ich kann das nur indirekt beeinflussen. Es geht um die Leistung hier im Club.« Bewegend sind Petkovićs Einblicke in die Härte des Profifußballs: Von gebrochenen Kiefern über Trainerwechsel bis zu dem einen Spiel gegen Kaiserslautern, bei dem er wusste: »Wenn ich heute nicht performe, könnte es komisch werden.« Es sind diese Momente, die eine Karriere entscheiden können. Bei ihm führte genau dieses Spiel zu seinem Wechsel nach Braunschweig – Torsten Lieberknecht saß auf der Tribüne und holte ihn später. Heute, als Torwarttrainer, will Petković »ein Bessermacher sein« – egal ob für junge Talente oder gestandene Profis wie Oliver Baumann. Seine Philosophie: »Du musst immer für den richtigen Moment bereit sein, wenn deine Chance kommt.« Eine Einstellung, die ihn selbst vom Dorfbolzplatz bis in die Bundesliga gebracht hat. Wenn er am Ende des Gesprächs noch schnell an den Laptop muss, wird klar: Der Weg des Spätstarters ist noch lange nicht zu Ende.

Sieglosserie? Natürlich nicht! Hannover 96 wiegt die Konkurrenz in Sicherheit, gibt kurzzeitig die Tabellenführung ab und lässt die nächsten Gegner wissen, dass man auch mit zehn Mann gegen die Roten Punkte holen kann. Warum 35 Regulärminuten nicht gereicht haben, um ein Tor zu schießen? Warum die Nachspielzeit dem Trainer zu kurz war und was eindeutig gegen die Einführung einer gestoppten Zeit wie beim Basketball spricht? Podwart hören! Und dann der Kokolo: War so überrascht von der Startelfnominierung, dass er seinen Turbo zu Hause vergessen hatte. Tiete erklärt in einer neuen Rubrik, warum der letzte Zukauf von Hannover 96 einen unwiderstehlichen Drang zur Eckfahne hat und wie Christian Titz Kokolos Sinne zentrieren kann. Was macht er besser als sein Konkurrent Matsuda – und was nicht? Podwart hören! Im Sturm hat Benedikt Pichler endlich getroffen, dafür sein Kollege Källman diesmal nicht – obwohl die schönste Kombination der Saison unbedingt einen Treffer verdient gehabt hätte. Die größte Gefahr im gegnerischen Strafraum strahlt aber ein ganz anderer aus – wer das ist? Podwart hören!

Why enthusiasm is the decisive factor in leadership, persuasion, and presentation success in Japan and globally Why is enthusiasm essential in business presentations? Enthusiasm is the engine of persuasion. In leadership, sales, and communication, passion signals conviction and credibility. Without energy, even well-researched data or strategic recommendations fall flat. Executives at companies like Toyota or Rakuten expect presenters to not only deliver facts but to inject life into them. A lack of enthusiasm is not neutral—it actively drains attention. In Japan's post-pandemic corporate environment, where remote meetings and hybrid presentations are common, leaders who fail to project energy risk being forgotten. Conversely, those who speak with passion become memorable influencers. Mini-Summary: Enthusiasm transforms presentations from lifeless reports into persuasive communication. Without it, leaders risk losing trust and engagement. Can you be too enthusiastic about numbers and data? Yes, and that's where balance is key. In internal meetings—revenue updates, quarterly reporting, or client statistics—overt enthusiasm for raw numbers can feel inauthentic. But data doesn't persuade on its own. Context, storytelling, and contrast bring numbers to life. Instead of showing an unreadable spreadsheet, effective communicators use visuals, animation, and narratives. For example, a single key revenue figure, enlarged on screen with a compelling story, leaves more impact than a crowded Excel chart. Global consulting firms like McKinsey & Company and Accenture regularly use this principle to frame insights for clients. Mini-Summary: Numbers without stories are dead. Leaders must animate data with context and narrative to persuade effectively. What happens when leaders speak without energy? Low-energy speakers drain motivation. Watching former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's press conferences illustrated how the absence of passion can make communication painful. His monotone delivery of critical COVID-19 emergency updates left audiences disengaged. In corporate life, the same dynamic applies. Leaders who fail to bring enthusiasm become “energy thieves,” leaving their teams uninspired. Conversely, when presenters share passion, energy transfers to the audience—lifting morale, confidence, and trust. Mini-Summary: Low energy kills influence. Leaders either inspire with enthusiasm or exhaust audiences with monotony. How can business leaders find enthusiasm in mundane topics? Not every subject excites naturally, but every presentation contains an angle that matters to the audience. Skilled communicators search for that thread—whether it's how trends affect profitability, customer loyalty, or employee well-being. Dale Carnegie Training in Tokyo teaches leaders to reframe even humdrum updates into stories of impact. Enthusiasm doesn't mean shouting; it means showing genuine conviction. Executives can highlight stakes, contrasts, or future implications to capture interest. Even logistics updates, when framed as customer-impact stories, can resonate. Mini-Summary: Find the human or business impact inside routine topics, and speak with conviction to make them engaging. How can presenters inject energy into their delivery? Energy is built, not born. Leaders must train, rehearse, and refine delivery. Techniques include varying pace, emphasising key junctures, and pausing strategically for impact. In Japan's competitive corporate training market, firms invest in executive coaching to help managers avoid monotony and build presence. Simple techniques—raising intensity during turning points, using stories, and changing tone—keep audiences alert. Professional speakers worldwide use rehearsal as their competitive edge. Mini-Summary: Enthusiasm requires skill and rehearsal. Leaders must train delivery techniques to project energy consistently. What's the risk of neglecting enthusiasm in business communication? The consequences are reputational. Every presentation is a personal branding moment. Leaders who consistently project enthusiasm are remembered as energisers. Those who don't, like Suga, risk being remembered as uninspiring and quickly forgotten. In Japan's relationship-driven business culture, credibility and energy directly affect trust. Companies invest heavily in sales and leadership training because they know reputations are made—or broken—every time someone speaks. Mini-Summary: Leaders who fail to project enthusiasm damage both personal and corporate brands. Energy is not optional—it's strategic. Conclusion: Why enthusiasm defines your legacy as a communicator Every presentation is an opportunity to shape how people perceive you. Audiences remember how you made them feel more than what you said. If you want to influence decisions, inspire teams, and strengthen your leadership brand, enthusiasm is non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: Enthusiasm transforms presentations into persuasive experiences. Numbers need stories and context to have meaning. Low energy drains audiences; high energy uplifts them. Even mundane topics can be reframed with conviction. Energy skills require training and rehearsal. Reputation and leadership legacy depend on enthusiasm. Executives, managers, and sales leaders should act now: rehearse presentations, seek coaching, and commit to bringing visible passion to every communication moment.

Dans cet épisode enregistré en plein cœur du Tor des Géants, nous recevons trois invités exceptionnels : Franco Collé quatruple vainqueur, Victor Richard vainqueur cette année et Martin Perrier, ultra traileur passionné !Ils nous parlent de résilience, de souffrance transformée en énergie, et de ce que le Tor révèle sur le corps et l'esprit.

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. In this shorter Bitcoin Brief catch‑up, we dive straight into the latest on Passport Prime: Foundation has completed a third‑party security audit for KeyOS, is squashing final bugs, and is testing a bulletproof firmware‑update flow before giving the factory the green light. While early‑access units have slipped from initial estimates, the team stresses security parity with Passport Core, continued transparency, and a no‑questions‑asked refund policy for those who prefer not to wait. We then unpack last week's NPM supply‑chain scare that briefly impacted Ethereum‑focused flows; despite the rapid containment (netting attackers mere cents), it's a timely reminder to use hardware wallets for significant funds and to verify amounts, fees, change, and destination addresses on every send.On policy, we examine the resurfacing “mixer rule” push in the US that would effectively criminalise mainstream privacy behaviours on public blockchains—potentially sweeping up CoinJoin/PayJoin, address freshness, swaps, and simple transaction splitting—highlighting why principled privacy and robust, neutral protocols matter. We field a listener question on making Lightning more accessible, weighing today's trade‑offs between self‑hosting and managed hubs (e.g., Alby), and the convenience of Phoenix/Zeus, with an eye toward emerging designs like Ark/Spark. Rounding out with releases: Cake Wallet's Pay Anything (seamless cross‑asset paying), native Tor on iOS, and Cupcake for air‑gapped signing; Craig Raw's Frigate Electrum server experiment for efficient Silent Payments scanning; and Braiins Deck, a tidy desk display for price, mempool, and mining stats. Boosts, meets, and a reminder: stay vigilant, stay private, and keep building.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Hour 2 for 9/17/25 Drew and Brooke prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (1:00). Then, Fr. Patrick Whittle, TOR covered Catholics stigmatists (28:40), if St. Paul had the stigmata (43:24), the Shroud of Turin (44:47), and the mystery of the stigmata (47:11).

Why leadership requires sensing and feeling, not just knowing, in 2025 Managers often prioritise what they “know,” while leaders rely more on what they “sense” and “feel.” This distinction, popularised by executive coach Marcel Danne, is more than semantics—it highlights a profound difference in mindset. As of 2025, with Japan navigating demographic challenges, digital disruption, and global uncertainty, the ability to sense and adapt has become more critical than simply knowing facts. What's the difference between managers and leaders in decision-making? Managers tend to focus on knowing first—building confidence through data, self-education, and sheer hard work. Leaders, however, prioritise sensing first—tuning into people, context, and emotions before deciding. In practice, this means managers often bulldoze forward with certainty, while leaders pause to feel and reflect before acting. In Japan, this distinction matters. Hierarchical firms often elevate those who “know,” but the complexity of 2025 requires leaders who can sense subtle shifts in markets, teams, and cultures. Mini-Summary: Managers lead with knowledge; leaders lead with sensing. In 2025 Japan, sensing is critical for navigating complexity. Why are managers often so confident in their own answers? Managers often rely on personal effort: self-education, long hours, and relentless execution. This creates confidence, even ego, but often without much self-awareness. Many managers assume the path is clear because they've worked hard to “know” it. This overconfidence mirrors Western corporate cultures where rugged individualism is prized. But in Japan, such confidence can clash with collaborative norms. A “my way or the highway” mindset alienates teams, undermining innovation and engagement. Mini-Summary: Managerial confidence stems from effort and ego, but without self-awareness, it risks alienating teams—especially in Japan. Why do Japanese firms prioritise questions over answers? Japanese business culture values asking the right questions more than having immediate answers. To a Western-trained manager, this seems counterintuitive, but it ensures decisions reflect collective wisdom. Leaders in Japan often pause to ask: Are we even solving the right problem? This contrasts with the West, where speed and decisiveness are praised. In 2025, Japanese organisations that blend both—rigorous questioning plus timely execution—are best positioned for global competition. Mini-Summary: In Japan, leaders prioritise asking the right questions before jumping to answers, ensuring collective wisdom shapes decisions. How do feelings reshape leadership effectiveness? Managers often dismiss emotions as distractions. Leaders, however, integrate feelings into decision-making. Dale Carnegie's Human Relations Principles emphasise empathy, appreciation, and understanding as essential leadership skills. Leaders who sense how people feel can adjust tone, timing, and messaging. In 2025, with hybrid work and employee burnout prevalent, emotional intelligence is more critical than ever. Companies like Hitachi and Sony are embedding empathy into leadership development to retain talent and drive innovation. Mini-Summary: Feelings, once ignored by managers, are now essential for leaders managing hybrid workforces and avoiding burnout. Can leaders evolve from “knowing” to “sensing”? Yes. Leaders can shift by gradually reordering their priorities. Many, like myself, began as managers focused on knowing and execution. Over time, through feedback and reflection, feelings and sensing moved to the forefront. For example, Dale Carnegie training encourages leaders to practice empathy, appreciation, and active listening. These skills shift behaviour from control to collaboration. Even small changes—like pausing before responding—signal growth. Mini-Summary: Leaders can evolve from knowing-first to sensing-first through training, reflection, and small behavioural changes. What should leaders do today to balance sensing and knowing? In 2025, leaders must balance data with empathy. This means: Asking the right questions before chasing answers. Listening actively to signals from teams and markets. Using knowledge as a foundation but not the driver. Modelling humility and curiosity in decision-making. Executives at firms like Toyota and Rakuten illustrate this blend, combining rigorous data with people-first leadership. Leaders who fail to evolve remain stuck in outdated managerial mindsets. Mini-Summary: Leaders must balance sensing and knowing by listening, questioning, and modelling humility—skills critical in 2025 Japan. Conclusion The difference between managers and leaders lies in order of priority: managers know first, leaders sense first. In Japan's complex 2025 environment, sensing, feeling, and questioning matter more than simply knowing. Leadership is a journey of self-discovery—moving from rugged individualism to collaborative sensing. The challenge for executives today is clear: are you still managing by knowing, or are you leading by sensing?

Pete spent the day doing some investigative journalism. He made calls, pulled records, and chased down leads no one else had the courage — or the free time — to chase. Something is clearly wrong. Since the All-Star Break, every team ToR follows has decided to embrace mediocrity — at best! — as a lifestyle choice. This weak, the Team discusses the Cubs dropping out of the NL Central race, the Cardinals’ tragic number reducing to four, CITY hovering dangerously close to the Wooden Spoon, and Newcastle drawing Leeds, not to mention the Bears spending Monday's fourth quarter collapsing as performance art. Because after careful research, meticulous analysis, and hours of reflection, Pete finally uncovered the root cause of all this misery. It’s Ron’s fault.
