Six weeks ago I started a podcast and told no one.

Commander in Brief. 15 minutes, weekly. One real leadership decision in the news, connected to the framework I run inside businesses.

No interviews. No fluff. One operator, the framework in your ear.

Six episodes live. A new one every week. Fifteen minutes, for the operator at the head of the table.

A Louisiana CEO handed $240M to his employees the day he sold the company.

Then he attached a five-year vesting condition — and said so, out loud.

Generosity that hides its terms is marketing. Generosity that names them is character. → https://t.co/0waKJYLPZQ

WILD.

Comparing the NZ government structure to Finland’s. A picture says 1000 words !!

Both countries have similar populations (5.5M). The structures behind are very different.

Finland:
• 12 core ministries
• Clear vertical accountability
• Defined ownership
• Built for speed, clarity, and execution

New Zealand:
• 40+ departments
• 80+ ministerial portfolios
• Layers of overlapping responsibility
• Super-ministries reporting across multiple ministers

The result? Accountability blur. No improvement. Massive waste.

In any high-performing organisation, if everyone is responsible, no one is.

NZ has exceptional people. But we need systems designed to deliver outcomes, not a birds-nest structure that creates no improvement or efficiency.

Fixing this will be a HUGE unlock on NZ long term. All parties should come together in a bi partisan way to sort this out.@actparty @NZNationalParty @nzfirst @nzlabour

Git worktrees with Claude? It's developer crack! One taste and I’m a branch-hopping maniac.
