Effective leadership is crucial to the success of any organisation. But can one person alone sway an entire electorate?   This is something that both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, along with their respective parties, may be counting on when voters head to the polls on 4th July. And it’s a question that I will be looking to answer in our next exclusive Pearn Kandola LLP webinar.   Taking place next Tuesday (2nd July), during this session I will delve into leadership profiles I have created for the two contenders running to be Prime Minister, exploring in depth:   - Each candidate's leadership style, strengths and weaknesses - How they have approached the campaign trail - How timing and political role models may be impacting their ability to demonstrate their leadership qualities - Whether Sunak and Starmer could make a "dream team" if they worked together   Just how well have the two candidates positioned themselves as the potential leader of the country? And will the next Prime Minister be decided by perceived strength or perceived weakness?   We hope you’ll join us to find out – register your place via the link below.   https://lnkd.in/eDjpQZb6   #Leadership #GeneralElection #RishiSunak #KeirStarmer

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Virginia, despite what your governor may say, this is NOT real economic development. Noted economic development expert Maryann Feldman differentiates economic *growth* from economic development thusly: "While economic growth is simply an increase in aggregate output, economic development is concerned with quality improvements, the introduction of new goods and services, risk mitigation and the dynamics of innovation and entrepreneurship. Economic development is about positioning the economy on a higher growth trajectory...it is the product of long-term investments in the generation of new ideas, knowledge transfer, and infrastructure." Past state economic development investments have helped the Commonwealth grow good-paying jobs in high-road industries: technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing. The arena deal would not build on those successes. Governor Youngkin frequently says that the deal will generate 30k jobs. Actually, official estimates are that it would generate only 17k jobs over what would happen in Potomac Yards without the deal. Most of those additional jobs would be in sectors like hospitality and retail that aren't sources of innovation, high wages, and long-term prosperity. The bulk of the jobs would just be moving from one side of the Potomac to the other, adding nothing to the regional economy. And Virginia taxpayers would pay $2B for all this. Imagine what Virginia could achieve if those dollars went toward *real* economic development? https://lnkd.in/e7DEjUcZ

Hello everyone! 195 TEAMS and Tom Landry politics? Ever watch a Dallas Cowboys game when Tom Landry was the coach? Other coaches might be running up and down the sidlelines, yelling or screaming or cheering or having a heart attack. Tom Landry looked like he happened to be there without a care in the world. Just waiting for a streetcar? Well, he revealed some secrets in his autobiography. To him, what was happening on the field right now was already old news. The work at hand was to get ready for the next play. How to predict what the opponent's offense and defense will be doing next and how to prepare the Dallas players who will be on the field very soon. Plenty of time for cheering and yelling and blaming for after the game. Fast forward to today. Tom Landry is no longer with us. But what about his ideas? No longer with us either? Everybody, we are now playing on a field with 195 teams: the countries of the world. And we are only one. (https://lnkd.in/eddyFR93) Fast forward to the next election: How much time will you, the voter, be spending getting ready for the next move by those 195-1 countries (some trustworthy friends and some just pretending)? And how much time are all the voters and the nation's two political parties spending on getting ready for the next play by their opposing political party? Predictions? Another lesson not learned? Could be a lethal, terminal condition? Thank you!

🚨 Historic Political Move in the U.S. 🚨 In an unprecedented decision, President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the U.S. presidential election race, fully endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Business leaders, including Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph, highlight this as a powerful example of knowing when to step aside. Biden has been under significant pressure, especially after the recent debate with his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump. In his statement, Biden said, "It is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President." This week, Biden will address the nation to explain the reasons behind this monumental decision. Meanwhile, his delegates at the Democratic National Convention, starting on August 19, are not bound to support Harris. Potential nominees include California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Kamala Harris, who has garnered numerous endorsements, expressed her gratitude for Biden's support and stated her determination to "earn and win" the Democratic nomination. Former President Barack Obama commended Biden, calling him "one of America’s most consequential presidents" and a "patriot of the highest order." We are witnessing a significant moment in U.S. politics that will shape the future direction of the country. #USPolitics #JoeBiden #KamalaHarris #Election2024 #Leadership #DemocraticParty

One of the most important things Joe Biden's eventual withdrawal from the US presidential election race shows us is the value of proactive succession planning. Done right, this is something prepared and put in place 1-2 years in advance by capturing and engaging talent both internally and externally. Here at 6 Group, we support leading businesses in this quite regularly, as it is a crucial piece of talent strategy. Throughout his first term, Joe Biden and his advisors had a real chance to start the process of the de-facto Democratic nomination and do their homework ahead of time. His decision from this weekend could have been taken years ago. Let's see whether he left it too long. #leadership #successionplanning #uselection #biden #PeoplePerformancePlanet

Now, if its the current administration who is concealing the President’s mental incapacity while controlling their actions, several serious legal, ethical, and constitutional issues arise: ### **1. Abuse of Office:** Concealing the President's mental incapacity and manipulating their decisions is a grave abuse of official power. This misleads the public and Congress about the true state of executive leadership, violating the duty to act transparently and responsibly in public service. ### **2. Violation of the 25th Amendment:** The 25th Amendment provides procedures for addressing presidential incapacity. If the President is mentally incapable of performing their duties, the Vice President and Cabinet should invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to transfer powers temporarily. Failure to follow this process while maintaining control secretly violates the constitutional protocol for dealing with incapacity. ### **3. Subversion of Democratic Governance:** Concealing the President’s mental state subverts democratic governance by preventing the public and Congress from knowing the true condition of their elected leader. This undermines the democratic principle of informed consent and the legitimacy of executive actions made under such circumstances. ### **4. Potential for Fraud and Deception:** By hiding the President’s incapacity, the administration could be engaging in fraud and deception against the government and the public. This could involve falsifying records, misrepresenting the President's condition, or making decisions in the President's name without proper authority, leading to legal consequences for those involved. ### **5. Ethical Violations and Lack of Transparency:** Concealing the President’s incapacity violates ethical standards requiring transparency, honesty, and accountability in government. It creates a lack of trust in leadership and can lead to severe political and legal repercussions for those who partake in or facilitate the concealment and manipulation.
