The US Election is happening on November 5th and it’s not just Americans who will be happy to see the back of it, the whole world will hopefully sigh with relief. No question it’s been intense, but regardless of the results, the divisions in the US will remain, and more broadly, we all know it’s not just the US suffering this blight, as many Western democracies face division too. The bigger risk is - will it continue to ripple out and infect the whole world? Time to start addressing it.

So, that’s our theme this week, and we’re going to reference an article in Australia’s The Saturday Paper, titled ‘Twelve keys to good leadership’ by Barry Jones. We’ll start with the five general properties (there are 14 in total) required for fascism to rise, and then we’ll speak to the opposite, where Barry Jones defines the 12 essential factors in leadership necessary for stable, liberal democracy. It will be worth understanding this, so we can all embrace it and change the direction we are heading in, right?

To help us understand this very important challenge, we are delighted to welcome Adeline Tiah 謝善嫻, who is a leadership and reinvent coach. Adeline is the author of REINVENT 4.0, and her focus is all about r𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞 f𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐟 w𝐨𝐫𝐤, where she works with CEOs, CHROs and leaders to build adaptive cultures that thrive alongside AI. A start-up advisor, coach, mentor and more, we’re excited to hear what she has to say on this very important topic, and hope you join us.

The Livestream kicks off at 3pm SG time, Friday 1st November. Hope to see you there.

The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today.

The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history. Join us.
